We consider adaptive L-estimation of estimating slope parameter in regression model. The proposed estimator is simple extension of trimmed least squares estimator proposed by ruppert and carroll. The efficiency of the proposed estimator is especially well compared with usual least squares estimator, least absolute value estimator, and M-estimators designed for asymmetric distributions under asymmetric error distributions.

This paper presents several applications of an improved estimator of the constitutive relation error (CRE) for plasticity problems. The cumulative aspect of the CRE estimator with respect to time is analyzed and we propose a first analysis of the local effectivity indexes of the CRE estimator in plasticity.

One proposal is made for constructing nonparametric estimator of slope parameters in a regression model under symmetric error distributions. This estimator is based on the use of idea of Johns for estimating the center of the symmetric distribution together with the idea of regression quantiles and regression trimmed mean. This nonparametric estimator and some other L-estimators are studied by Monte Carlo.

The rotor position of a PM synchronous motor is commonly estimated from the mathematical model for the sensorless control without rotor position sensors. For the magnet flux-based rotor position estimator in the stationary reference frame, the magnet flux estimator for estimating rotor position and speed includes the integrator. The integrator in the magnet flux estimator may accumulate the offset of the current sensors and the voltage drift. This continuous accumulation of the offset may cause the drift and overflow in the integrator, such that the estimated rotor position and speed may fail to track the real rotor position and speed. In this paper, the magnet flux estimator without integrator is proposed to avoid overflow in the integrator. The proposed rotor position and speed estimator based on magnet flux estimator are verified through simulation and experiment.

One proposal is made to construct a nonparametric estimator of slope parameters in a regression model under symmetric error distributions. This estimator is based on the use of the idea of minimizing approximate variance of a proposed estimator using regression quantiles. This nonparametric estimator and some other L-estimators are studied and compared with well known M-estimators through a simulation study.

The 3-way balanced multi-level rotation design has been discussed (Park Kim and Kim, 2003), where the 3-way balancing is done on interview time, in monthly sample and rotation group and recall time. A greater advantage of 3-way balanced design is accomplished by an estimator. To obtain the advantage, we generalized previous generalized composite estimator (GCE). We call this as l-step GCE. The variance of the l-step GCE's of various characteristics of interest are presented. Also, we provide the coefficients which minimize the variance of the l-step GCE. Minimizing a weighted sum of variances of all concerned estimators of interest, we drive one set of the compromise coefficient of l-step GCE's to preserve additivity of estimates.

It is well kmown that the $L_1$-estimator is robust with respect to vertical outliers in regression data, even if it is susceptible to bad leverage points. This article is concerned with the robustness of the $L_1$-estimator. To investigate its robustness against vertical outliers we may find intervals for the value of the response variable within which the $L_1$-estimates do not shange. A procedure for constructing those intervals in multiple limear regression is illustrated in the sensitivity analysis context. And then vertical breakdown point of the $L_1$-estimator is defined on the basis of properties related to those intervals.

The mean is generally used as a point estimator in water-quality data. Unfortunately, the nonnormal and skewed distributions of data hinder the direct application of the mean, which is inappropriate statistics in this case. The use of robust statistics such as L, M, and R-estimators are recommended and become more efficient. The median (L-estimator), the biweight (M-estimator), and the Hodges-Lehmann method (R-estimator) are briefly introduced and applied in this paper. From the actual data analyses, it is known that the median does not guarantee robustness for a small number of data sets, and robust measures of location or the arithmetic mean without outliers are highly recommended if the distribution has tails or outliers. Care must be taken to measure the location because water quality level within a water body can change depending on the selected point estimator.

In this study, a robust estimation method for the first-order autocorrelation coefficient in the time series model following AR(l) process with additive outlier(AO) is investigated. We propose the L-type trimmed least squares estimation method using the preliminary estimator (PE) suggested by Rupport and Carroll (1980) in multiple regression model. In addition, using Mallows' weight function in order to down-weight the outlier of X-axis, the bounded-influence PE (BIPE) estimator is obtained and the mean squared error (MSE) performance of various estimators for autocorrelation coefficient are compared using Monte Carlo experiments. From the results of Monte-Carlo study, the efficiency of BIPE(LAD) estimator using the generalized-LAD to preliminary estimator performs well relative to other estimators.

Minimum $L_i$ norm estimation is a robust procedure ins the sense that it leads to an estimator which has greater statistical eficiency than the least squares estimator in the presence of outliers. And the $L_1$ norm estimator has some desirable statistical properties. In this paper a new computational procedure for $L_1$ norm estimation is proposed which combines the idea of reweighted least squares method and the linear programming approach. A modification of the projective transformation method is employed to solve the linear programming problem instead of the simplex method. It is proved that the proposed algorithm terminates in a finite number of iterations.
