題名: | High Breakdown Estimation of Multivariate Mean and covariance With Missing Observations | 作者: | 鄭宗記;Victoria-Feser M.-P. Cheng, Tsung-Chi;Maria-Pia Victoria-Feser |

The ER algorithm of Little and Smith which combines the EM algorithm for missing data and a robust estimation step based on an M-estimator could be used in such a situation. However, the ER algorithm as originally proposed can fail to be robust in some cases, especially in high dimensions. We propose here two alternatives to avoid the problem. One is to combine a small modification of the ER algorithm with a so-called high-breakdown estimator as the starting point for the iterative procedure, and the other is to base the estimation step of the ER algorithm on a high-breakdown estimator. Among the high-breakdown estimators which are actually built to keep their robustness properties even if the number of variables is relatively large, we consider here the minimum covariance determinant estimator and the t-biweight S-estimator. Simulated and real data are used to compare and illustrate the different procedures. | 關聯: | British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, 55,317-335 | 資料類型: | article | DOI: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1348/000711002760554615 |
