This paper considers the trimmed least squares estimator of the autoregression parameter in the unstable AR(1) model: X\ulcorner=ØX\ulcorner+$\varepsilon$\ulcorner, where $\varepsilon$\ulcorner are iid random variables with mean 0 and variance $\sigma$$^2$> 0, and Ø is the real number with │Ø│=1. The trimmed least squares estimator for Ø is defined in analogy of that of Welsh(1987). The limiting distribution of the trimmed least squares estimator is derived under certain regularity conditions.

Classical principal component analysis (PCA) can be formulated as finding the linear subspace that best accommodates multidimensional data points in the sense that the sum of squared residual distances is minimized. As alternatives to such LS (least squares) fitting approach, we produce LMS (least median of squares) and LTS (least trimmed squares)-type PCA by minimizing the median of squared residual distances and the trimmed sum of squares, in a similar fashion to Rousseeuw (1984)'s alternative approaches to LS linear regression. Proposed methods adopt the data-driven optimization algorithm of Croux and Ruiz-Gazen (1996, 2005) that is conceptually simple and computationally practical. Numerical examples are given.

We propose an equivariant and robust estimator in multivariate regression model based on the least trimmed squares (LTS) estimator in univariate regression. We call this estimator as multivariate least trimmed squares (MLTS) estimator. The MLTS estimator considers correlations among response variables and it can be shown that the proposed estimator has the appropriate equivariance properties defined in multivariate regression. The MLTS estimator has high breakdown point as does LTS estimator in univariate case. We develop an algorithm for MLTS estimate. Simulation are performed to compare the efficiencies of MLTS estimate with coordinatewise LTS estimate and a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of MLTS estimate in multivariate regression.

The shrink parameter in ridge regression may be contaminated by outlying points. We propose robust cross validation scores in ridge regression instead of classical cross validation. We use robust location estimators such as median, least trimmed squares, absolute mean for robust cross validation scores. The robust scores have global robustness. Simulations are performed to show the effectiveness of the proposed estimators.

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.

Robust principal components regression is suggested to deal with both the multicollinearity and outlier problem. A main aspect of the robust principal components regression is the selection of an optimal set of principal components. Instead of the eigenvalue of the sample covariance matrix, a selection criterion is developed based on the condition index of the minimum volume ellipsoid estimator which is highly robust against leverage points. In addition, the least trimmed squares estimation is employed to cope with regression outliers. Monte Carlo simulation results indicate that the proposed criterion is superior to existing ones.

Transforming response variable is a general tool to adapt data to a linear regression model. However, it is well known that response transformations in linear regression are very sensitive to one or a few outliers. Many methods have been suggested to develop transformations that will not be influenced by potential outliers. Recently Cheng (2005) suggested to using a trimmed likelihood estimator based on the idea of the least trimmed squares estimator(LTS). However, the method requires presetting the number of outliers and needs many computations. A new method is proposed, that can solve the problems addressed and improve the robustness of the estimates. The method uses a stepwise procedure, suggested by Hadi and Simonoff (1993), to detect outliers that determine response transformations.

We propose an equivariant and robust estimator in multivariate regression model based on the least quartile difference (LQD) estimator in univariate regression. We call this estimator as the multivariate least quartile difference (MLQD) estimator. The MLQD estimator considers correlations among response variables and it can be shown that the proposed estimator has the appropriate equivariance properties defined in multivariate regressions. The MLQD estimator has high breakdown point as does the univariate LQD estimator. We develop an algorithm for MLQD estimate. Simulations are performed to compare the efficiencies of MLQD estimate with coordinatewise LQD estimate and the multivariate least trimmed squares estimate.

본 논문은 일차원의 시계열 데이터를 입력을 하여 위상공간 재구성 과정을 거쳐 다차원 위상공간상에서 프랙탈 차원을 계산하는 효율적인 방법을 제안한다. 프랙탈 차원의 추정에 소요되는 계산량을 줄이기 위해 로그 연산을 비트 연산으로 대체하고, 거리계산의 순서를 바꿈으로써 위상공간의 차원에 무관한 상수 시간의 계산복잡도를 가지는 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 또한 최소절단자승 추정기법을 적용하여 로그-로그 그래프 상에서의 기울기 추정을 함으로써 프랙탈 차원의 추정치에 대한 정확도를 높였다. 참값이 알려진 시계열 데이터에 대한 차원 추정 실험을 통하여 제안된 방법의 정확성을 보였다.

For the problem of testing the parallelism of two regression lines, a robust procedure is proposed and examined. The proposed test statistic is based on the one-step GM-estimators of slope parameters proposed by Song et al. (1994b). These GM-estimators used the Least Trimmed Squares estimates as an initial values so as to obtain high breakdown point. Through a small-sample Monte Carlo simulation the empirical levels and powers of the proposed test are compared with other tests under various error distributions.
