Abstract

The method of least squares is not resistant to the undue influence outliers can have on the estimate of slope and intercept. An alternative approach is to use a method that is specifically designed to reduce the effect that outliers can have on slope and intercept estimates.

- Dealing with Outliers: Robust, Resistant Regression

  Journal of Chemical Education2007 84 (3), 533
  Least-squares linear regression is the best of statistics and it is the worst of statistics. The reasons for this paradoxical claim, arising from possible inapplicability of the method and the excessive influence of "outliers", are discussed and ...
