statsmodels.robust.scale.Huber¶

class statsmodels.robust.scale.Huber(c=1.5, tol=1e-08, maxiter=30, norm=None)[source]¶

Huber’s proposal 2 for estimating location and scale jointly.

Parameters

cfloat, optional: Threshold used in threshold for chi=psi**2. Default value is 1.5.
tolfloat, optional: Tolerance for convergence. Default value is 1e-08.
maxiterint, optional0: Maximum number of iterations. Default value is 30.
normstatsmodels.robust.norms.RobustNorm, optional: A robust norm used in M estimator of location. If None, the location estimator defaults to a one-step fixed point version of the M-estimator using Huber’s T.
call: Return joint estimates of Huber’s scale and location.
