    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.

    Non negative scalar which (together with the other optional parameter M) controls the robustness/efficiency of the estimator (beta in regression or mu in the location case ...).

    Data Types: single| double

    M — tuning parameter. Scalar.

    Scalar greater than 0 which (together with the other optional parameter c) controls the robustness/efficiency of the estimator (beta in regression or mu in the location case ...).

    Additional Details

    function RKpsi transforms vector u as follows \[ RKpsi(u)= \left\{ \begin{array}{cc} u & 0 \leq u \leq M \\ u \left(1-\left( \frac{u-M}{c} \right)^2 \right)^2 & M < u \leq M+c \\ 0 & u > M+c \\ \end{array} \right. \]
