This paper describes a method of robust estimation of shift and scale parameters in a mixed unbalanced interlaboratory model. Estimators presented result from "easily computable" Fréchet differentiable functionals which enjoy some optimal properties in a small neighborhood of the model. A rigorous treatment of their asymptotic behaviour under departures from the model assumptions and a simulation study are given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
