Abstract

We give Monte Carlo results on the performance of two robust alternatives to least-squares regression estimation—least-absolute residuals and the one-step sine estimator. We show how to scale the residuals for the sine estimator to achieve nearly constant efficiency for the normal distribution across various choices of the design matrix. We compare the two estimators to least squares for nine scale-contaminated normal distributions.
