Robust inference for nonlinear regression models

A family of weighted estimators of the regression parameter under a nonlinear model is introduced. The proposed weighted estimators are computed through a four-step MM-procedure, and the given approach allows for possible missing responses. Under mild conditions, the proposed estimators turn to be c...
