galts: Genetic algorithms and C-steps based LTS (Least Trimmed Squares)
estimation
This package includes the ga.lts function that estimates
LTS (Least Trimmed Squares) parameters using genetic algorithms
and C-steps. ga.lts() constructs a genetic algorithm to form a
basic subset and iterates C-steps as defined in Rousseeuw and
van-Driessen (2006) to calculate the cost value of the LTS
criterion. OLS(Ordinary Least Squares) regression is known to
be sensitive to outliers. A single outlying observation can
change the values of estimated parameters. LTS is a resistant
estimator even the number of outliers is up to half of the
data. This package is for estimating the LTS parameters with
lower bias and variance in a reasonable time.
