Two-step estimators often called upon to fit censored regression models in many areas of science and engineering. Since censoring incurs a bias in the naive least-squares fit, a two-step estimator first estimates the bias and then fits a…

Heavy-tailed errors impair the accuracy of the least squares estimate, which can be spoiled by a single grossly outlying observation. As argued in the seminal work of Peter Huber in 1973 [{\it Ann. Statist.} {\bf 1} (1973) 799--821], robust…
