Models where the least trimmed squares and least median of squares estimators are maximum likelihood

| Sumari: | The Least Trimmed Squares (LTS) and Least Median of Squares (LMS) estimators are popular robust regression estimators. The idea behind the estimators is to find, for a given h, a sub-sample of h good observations among n observations and estimate the regression on that sub-sample. We find models, based on the normal or the uniform distribution respectively, in which these estimators are maximum likelihood. We provide an asymptotic theory for the location-scale case in those models. The LTS estimator is found to be sqrt(h) consistent and asymptotically standard normal. The LMS estimator is found to be h consistent and asymptotically Laplace. |
