Abstract

For multi-factor linear models outlier robust estimators and tests are derived. As robustness criteria the finite sample breakdown point and the asymptotic bias in shrinking contamination neighbourhoods are used. It is shown that one-step M-estimators can combine high breakdown point, small asymptotic bias and high efficiency. For tests similar results can be shown by basing the tests on one-step M-estimaters. It turns out that highest efficiency can be achieved if appropriate designs are used.
