Syntax

Description

example

wei =HUwei(u, c) Plot Huber weights.

Examples

expand all

  • Plot Huber weights.

    • x=-6:0.01:6;
    weiHU=HUwei(x,2);
    plot(x,weiHU)
    xlabel('x','Interpreter','Latex')
    ylabel('$W (x) =\psi(x)/x$','Interpreter','Latex')

    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 parameters. 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

    wei —Weights vector. Vector

    n x 1 vector containing the Huber weights associated to the scaled residuals or Mahalanobis distances for the n units of the sample.
