Some methods from statistical machine learning and from robust statistics have two drawbacks. Firstly, they are computer-intensive such that they can hardly be used for massive data sets, say with millions of data points. Secondly, robust and non-parametric confidence intervals for the...

In this paper we investigate the robustness properties of the deepest regression, a method for linear regression introduced by Rousseeuw and Hubert [6]. We show that the deepest regression functional is Fisher-consistent for the conditional median, and has a breakdown value of in all dimensions....
