Abstract
Robust regression methods have advantages over classical least-squares (LS) regression if the strict model assumptions used for LS regression are violated. We briefly review LMS and LTS regression as robust alternatives to LS regression, and illustrate their advantages. Furthermore, it is demonstrated how robust regression can be used if the response variable contains relative rather than absolute information.
