Asymptotic behavior of iterative M-estimartors for location

Asymptotic behavior of iterative M-estimartors for location In this paper, we study the Huber M-estimator for location when they are computed by a class of numerical iterative procedures. This class includes the usual method of Newton-Raphson, iterated weighted least squares and iterated winsorization. We show that under mild conditions, the numerical iterative procedures converge and the resulting estimators are consistent and asymptotically normal. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Bulletin of the Brazilian Mathematical Society, New Series Springer Journals

Abstract

In this paper, we study the Huber M-estimator for location when they are computed by a class of numerical iterative procedures. This class includes the usual method of Newton-Raphson, iterated weighted least squares and iterated winsorization. We show that under mild conditions, the numerical iterative procedures converge and the resulting estimators are consistent and asymptotically normal.
