The Evolution Strategy Implementation of the Least Trimmed Square Algorithm

Abstract

The least trimmed square algorithm is a robust statistical method. Comparing with the classical least square method, it can eliminate the inference of the abnormal observed data in the process of data analysis. But the least trimmed square algorithm has disadvantages, such as on the condition of nonlinear function fitting. On the other hand, the evolution strategy method has the excellent global searching ability. The paper utilizes the evolution strategy algorithm to realize the solution to least square algorithm, which can overcome the disadvantages of the least square algorithm. Some examples show that the method is feasible.
