lmRob.fit.compute: Fit a Robust Linear Model

In robust: Port of the S+ "Robust Library"

Fit a Robust Linear Model

Description

Fits a robust linear model with high breakdown point and high efficiency estimates. This is used by lmRob, but not supposed to be called by the users directly.

Usage

lmRob.fit.compute(x, y, x1.idx = NULL, nrep = NULL, robust.control = NULL, ...)

Arguments

x	a numeric matrix containing the design matrix.
y	a numeric vector containing the linear model response.
x1.idx	a numeric vector containing the indices of columns of the design matrix arising from the coding of factor variables.
nrep	the number of random subsamples to be drawn. If "Exhaustive" resampling is being used, the value of nrep is ignored.
robust.control	a list of control parameters to be used in the numerical algorithms. See lmRob.control for the possible control parameters and their default settings.
...	additional arguments.

Value

an object of class "lmRob". See lmRob.object for a complete description of the object returned.
