Abstract

Let Y1, …, Yn denote independent real-valued observations, each of the form Yj = Xjβ + σεj, where Xj is a fixed covariate vector, β and σ are unknown parameters ε1, …, εn are identically distributed according to a symmetric density p. This article considers the sensitivity of point estimates of β to the choice of estimator from classes of estimators based on the L estimators of Kroenker and Portnoy. Specific measures of sensitivity are proposed these measures are applied to several datasets.
