Abstract

A parametric family of M-estimators of scale based on the Rousseeuw–Croux Qn-estimator is proposed; estimator’s bias and efficiency are studied. A low-complexity one-step M-estimator is obtained allowing a considerably faster computation with greater than 80% efficiency and the highest possible 50% breakdown point. Analytical and Monte Carlo modeling results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
