  • Find c given bdp.
  • The constant c associated to a breakdown point of 50% in regression is c= 1.213897063441983

    c=OPTbdp(0.5,1)

    Input Arguments

    expand all

    bdp — breakdown point. Scalar.

    Data Types: single|double

    v — number of response variables. Scalar.

    e.g. in regression p=1

    Data Types: single|double|int32|int64

    Additional Details

    $\rho$ ($\psi$) function which is considered is standardized using intervals 0---(2/3)c , (2/3)c---c, >c.

    $\rho$ function is

    \[ OPTrho(u)= \left\{ \begin{array}{lr} 1.3846 \left(\frac{u}{c}\right)^2 & |\frac{u}{c}| \leq \frac{2}{3} \\ 0.5514-2.6917 \left(\frac{u}{c}\right)^2 +10.7668\left(\frac{u}{c}\right)^4-11.6640\left(\frac{u}{c}\right)^6+4.0375\left(\frac{u}{c}\right)^8 & \qquad \frac{2}{3} \leq |\frac{u}{c}|\leq 1 \\ 1 & |\frac{u}{c}|>1 \\ \end{array} \right. \]
