This article studies the behavior of the Maronna robust scatter estimator $\hat{C}_N\in \mathbb{C}^{N\times N}$ of a sequence of observations $y_1,...,y_n$ which is composed of a $K$ dimensional signal drown in a heavy tailed noise, i.e…

This work is concerned with the estimation of multidimensional regression and the asymptotic behaviour of the test involved in selecting models. The main problem with such models is that we need to know the covariance matrix of the noise to…

Robust M-estimation uses loss functions, such as least absolute deviation (LAD), quantile loss and Huber's loss, to construct its objective function, in order to for example eschew the impact of outliers, whereas the difficulty in analysing…
