Abstract
In robust smoothing of regression functions of the type
, the theory in automatic bandwidth selection is still lacking. This paper tries to fill the gap by looking at the use of cross-validation methods in robust smoothing. Conjectures regarding the use of a class of robust cross-validation method are made. These are further complemented by examples, all of which showed favourably for the new method.
