Hi to all! I''m writing a small review article on robust regression and want to bias it toward methods already implemented in standard statistical software. Specific question: rank regression a la Hettmansperger/McKean is implemented in an ''experimental'' and, one suspects, officially deprecated Minitab session command RREG. Is it available within any contributed library for R? General question [but to me by email rather than cluttering up the list, please] Can you tell me about any particularly good or bad experiences that you have had in using a particular kind of robust regression with real data? Although off-topic I will post a summary to the list unless I get clear feed-back that I should not.
