Abstract:

Recursive algorithms are very useful for computing M-estimators of regression coefficients and scatter Parameters. In this article, it is shown that for a nondecreasing u1(t), under some mild conditions the recursive M-estimators of regression coefficients and scatter parameters are strongly consistent and the recursive M-estimator of the regression coefficients is also asymptotically normal distributed. Furthermore, optimal recursive M-estimators, asymptotic efficiencies of recursive M-estimators and asymptotic relative efficiencies between recursive M-estimators of regression coefficients are studied.

Key words: asymptotic efficiency, asymptotic normality,  asymptotic relative efficiency, least absolute deviation, least squares, M-estimation, multivariate linear, optimal estimator, recursive algorithm, regression coefficients, robust stimation, regression model
