Kj. Berry et Pw. Mielke, LEAST SUM OF ABSOLUTE DEVIATIONS REGRESSION - DISTANCE, LEVERAGE, ANDINFLUENCE, Perceptual and motor skills, 86(3), 1998, pp. 1063-1070
Least sum of absolute deviations regression is considered as a robust
alternative to least sum of squared deviations regression. A simple ex
ample of linear regression utilizing one predictor variable and a sing
le extreme value illustrates the potential effects of distance, levera
ge, and influence on the two regression models.
