A computationally efficient branch-and-bound strategy for finding the subsets of the most statistically significant variables of a vector autoregressive (VAR) model from a given search subspace is proposed. Specifically, the candidate submodels are obtained by deleting columns from the...

An algorithm for computing the exact least trimmed squares (LTS) estimator of the standard regression model has recently been proposed. The LTS algorithm is adapted to the general linear and seemingly unrelated regressions models with possible singular dispersion matrices. It searches through a...
