Adaptive regression

"Since 1757, when Roger Joseph Boscovich addressed the fundamental mathematical problem in determining the parameters which best fits observational equations, a large number of estimation methods has been proposed and developed for linear regression. Four of the commonly used methods are the least absolute deviations, least squares, trimmed least squares, and the M-regression. Each of these methods has its own competitive edge but none is good for all purposes. This book focuses on construction of an adaptive combination of several pairs of these estimation methods. The purpose of adaptive…
