Abstract
In this paper, we study the linear model where the distribution of the i.i.d, errors has a normal centre with unknown scale and completely arbitrary tails. Consistent and asymptotically normal robust estimators of the regression parameter vector are obtained by:
(i) robust Jkf-estimation. of the regression vector only, and by (il) simultaneous robust /if-estimation of the regression vector and the scale parameter. The methods are compared and optima! estimators are proposed |
