lad.fit-methods {L1pack}

Fit a least absolute deviation (LAD) regression model

Description

Fits a linear model using LAD methods, returning the bare minimum computations.

Usage

lad.fit.BR(x, y, tol = 1e-7)
lad.fit.EM(x, y, tol = 1e-7, maxiter = 200)

Arguments

x, y

numeric vectors or matrices for the predictors and the response in a linear model. Typically, but not necessarily, x will be constructed by one of the fitting functions.

tol

the relative tolerance for the iterative algorithm. Default is tol = 1e-7.

maxiter

The maximum number of iterations for the EM method. Default to 200.

Value

The bare bones of a lad object: the coefficients, residuals, fitted values, and some information used by summary.lad.
