Year: 1977 Journal:   Communications in Statistics - Simulation and Computation Vol: 6 (4)Pages: 415-420   Publisher: Taylor & Francis

Abstract

Two techniques for detecting inaccuracies in least absolute values (LAV) regression computations are presented and discussed. Examples of the use of the methods are given. The techniques are shown to apply to the more general case of M-estimation.

Keywords:
Rounding Computation Regression Mean absolute error Least absolute deviations Statistics Absolute (philosophy) Mathematics Linear regression Regression analysis Applied mathematics Algorithm Computer science Mean squared error
