[RsR] R-SIG-Robust Digest, Vol 20, Issue 2
It's probably because the Robust Library has only been available for R for a little over a year and only available under the GPL for about 6 months. Also, I don't think they "recommend rlm over lmRob" but rather don't mention lmRob at all. Kjell

First, several books that discuss R and have mentioned robust methods (Crawley, 2007; Faraway, 2005; Fox, 2002; Jureckova & Picek, 2006) have used the rlm function in the MASS library. Do you have any idea why these books would recommend rlm over lmRob? I don?t find the output to be as helpful as lmRob?s output. Well, this is just curiosity.
Jennifer had asked this question a few days ago, and I'm also curious about the answer. (Or, did someone answer this and I missed it?) -- Ajay Shah http://www.mayin.org/ajayshah ajayshah at mayin.org http://ajayshahblog.blogspot.com <*(:-? - wizard who doesn't know the answer.
