Robust regression analysis techniques using exponential random variables

摘要

Embodiments relate to methodologies and program product is provided for conducting regression analysis. In one embodiment the method includes obtaining data related to a statistical process including a plurality of points in a plurality of dimensions and organizing the plurality of points and the plurality of dimensions in a matrix. The method also includes calculating a vector of a particular measurement such that the measurement equal the number of the plurality of points and calculating a least absolute deviation by determining the number of non-zero entries provided in the matrix.
