Abstract

We study robust estimation in the general normal regression model with random carriers permitting small departures from the model. The framework is that of Bickel (1981). We obtain solutions of Huber (1982), Krasker-Hampel (1980) and Krasker-Welsch (1982) as special cases as well as some new procedures. Our calculations indicate that the optimality properties of these estimates are more limited than suggested by Krasker and Welsch.
