  • Compare two rho functions for 2 different values of c.

    • In the first we fix the bdp (value of efficiency is automatically given), while in the second we find the efficiency (the value of bdp is automatically given)

    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

    Additional Details

    function TBrho transforms vector u as follows \[ TBrho(u)= \left\{ \begin{array}{cc} (c^2/6) \left\{ 1-[1-(u/c)^2]^3 \right\} & |u/c| \leq 1 \\ (c^2/6) & |u/c| >1 \\ \end{array} \right. \]

    See equation (2.37) p. 29 of Maronna et al. (2006).

    Remark: equation (2.37) is written in standardized terms in such a way that $\rho(c)=1$, so it is the previous expression divided by $(c^2/6)$
