Maximum Tangent Likelihood Estimation for Robust Linear Regression and Variable Selection

v1.2.1 · May 1, 2025 · GPL-3

Description

Several robust estimators for linear regression and variable selection are provided. Included are Maximum tangent likelihood estimator by Qin, et al., (2017), arXiv preprint <doi:10.48550/arXiv.1708.05439>, least absolute deviance estimator and Huber regression. The penalized version of each of these estimator incorporates L1 penalty function, i.e., LASSO and Adaptive Lasso. They are able to produce consistent estimates for both fixed and high-dimensional settings.
