The Method of Least Squares and Some Alternatives - Part 3

Abstract

After summarizing (chronologically) the voluminous literature on measures of central tendency and dispersion, the method of least squares and numerous alternatives, the treatment of outliers and robust estimation, the author recommends a simple and reasonably robust adaptive procedure. Parts 1-4 cover the time periods 1632-1884, 1885-1945, 1946-1964 and 1965-1974, respectively. Part 5 gives conclusions and recommendations and Part 6 gives subject and author indexes.
