Outliers in a statistical analysis strongly affect the performance of the ordinary least squares, such outliers need to be detected and extreme outliers deleted. Thisp is aimed at proposing a Redescending M-estimator which is more efficient and robust compared to other existing methods. The results show that the proposed method is effective in detection and deletion of extreme outliers compared to the other existing ones.
