    Input Arguments

    expand all

    u — scaled residuals or Mahalanobis distances. Vector.

    n x 1 vector containing residuals or Mahalanobis distances for the n units of the sample

    Data Types: single| double

    c — tuning parameter. Scalar.

    Scalar greater than 0 which controls the robustness/efficiency of the estimator (beta in regression or mu in the location case ...)

    Data Types: single| double

    Output Arguments

    expand all

    rhoHU —Huber rho associated to the residuals or Mahalanobis distances for the n units of the sample. n -by- 1 vector

    Additional Details

    function HUrho transforms vector u as follows \[ HUrho(u)= \left\{ \begin{array}{cc} (u^2/2) & |u/c| \leq 1 \\ c|u| -c^2/2 & |u/c| >1 \\ \end{array} \right. \]

    See equation (2.27) p. 26 of Maronna et al. (2006).

    Remark: equation (2.26) is written in standardized terms in such a way that $\rho(c)=1$, so it is the previous expression multiplied by $2$
