Improving bias-robustness of regression estimates through projections

We define a robust procedure to "correct" a regression estimate along the directions in predictor space where the fit is worse. When is the least median of squares estimate, the "corrected estimate" has a smaller maximum asymptotic bias under contamination, and a much better finite-sample behavior than
