statsmodels.robust.norms.TukeyBiweight

class statsmodels.robust.norms.TukeyBiweight(c=4.685)[source]

Tukey’s biweight function for M-estimation.

Parameters
cfloat, optional

The tuning constant for Tukey’s Biweight. The default value is c = 4.685.

Notes

Tukey’s biweight is sometime’s called bisquare.
