Further Progress on Robust/Resistant Widthers.
Abstract
This report describes work on the development of robust estimators of width. An earlier technical report, an Interim Report of a Monte Carlo Study of Robust Estimators of Width describes previous work undertaken in connection with this project. Essentially a single faimly of estimators (together with a few obvious variations) was investigated for sample sizes n=10 and n=20, using Monte Carlo methods. The authors were motivated by considerations of conceptual and computational simplicity as well as a desire to achieve high robustness of efficiency. Moderate success was achieved on both counts. In fact apparent triefficiencies of 89% were obtained for sample size 10.
