Subject: [RsR] Non-linear robust method
Hello,
I am based at STICERD at the London School of Economics and have been
using R for about a year. At the moment I am working on programming an R
algorithm for fitting a Pareto distribution robustly (this is a part of
package to supplement a research paper on income distribution). It isn't
going too well. I am aware that there are routines in R to fit GLM using
robust methods, but I am not sure whether any work has been done in the
direction of non-linear parametric distributions (such as gamma or
Pareto).
I hope you hear from any of you soon and sorry for the trouble,
Alex
PS Some of you may be aware that there is some excellent work by A
Marazzi, who programmed many such routines in FORTRAN about 15 years
ago, which run on older R interfaces.
