A Differential Geometry-Based Algorithm for Solving the Minimum Hellinger Distance Estimator
Robust estimation of statistical parameters is traditionally believed to exist in a trade space between robustness and efficiency. This thesis examines the Minimum Hellinger Distance Estimator (MHDE), which is known to have desirable robustness properties as well as desirable efficiency properties....
