Hello, I was wondering if there are any robust regression packages available for R? I would prefer robust MM regression package something like what is described in the S-Plus manual (S-Plus function is lrRobMM and it calls fortran ROBETH package). But if that is not available perhaps there is something similar? Best regards and congrats on great work.

You could try function rlm in package MASS (in the VR bundle). That has an MM option, and was originally written to work around problems with the (then) version of lmRobMM in S-PLUS. It uses lqs in package lqs, and that is substantailly faster than the ROBETH-based code (as I started with that route).
