The choice of the initial estimate for computing MM-estimates

We show, using a Monte Carlo study, that MM-estimates with projection estimates as starting point of an iterative weighted least squares algorithm, behave more robustly than MM-estimates starting at an S-estimate and similar Gaussian efficiency. Moreover the former have a robustness behavior close t...

description We show, using a Monte Carlo study, that MM-estimates with projection estimates as starting point of an iterative weighted least squares algorithm, behave more robustly than MM-estimates starting at an S-estimate and similar Gaussian efficiency. Moreover the former have a robustness behavior close to the P-estimates with an additional advantage: they are asymptotically normal making statistical inference possible.
