statsmodels.robust.norms.Hampel.rho

Hampel.rho(z)

The robust criterion function for Hampel’s estimator

Parameters:

zarray_like

1d array

Returns:

rhondarray

rho(z) = (1/2.)*z**2 for |z| <= a

rho(z) = a*|z| - 1/2.*a**2 for a < |z| <= b

rho(z) = a*(c*|z|-(1/2.)*z**2)/(c-b) for b < |z| <= c

rho(z) = a*(b + c - a) for |z| > c
