The consistency and the asymptotic normality of the least weighted squares is proved and its asymptotic representation derived. Although the proof includes rather large amount of technicalities, it is not difficult to follow. The technique as follows from the analogy with the least trimmed...

Consistency, asymptotic representation and asymptotic normality of the least trimmed squares estimator of regression coefficients is derived in the framework with random carriers. Also a result describing sensitivity to the deletion of an observation is given.

The effects of over- and underfitting the regression model is studied for M-estimators. Applying nowadays already classic tool, namely the asymptotic linearity of M-statistics, the Bahadur representation of M-estimators in over- and underfitted model is found. It allows to establish conditions...
