Abstract:In this paper, we consider the problem of obtaining appropriate weights for model averaging in the face of model uncertainty and outliers. Most of the current model averaging methods are based on ordinary least squares (OLS) estimators, which are very sensitive to outliers or departures from the normality assumption on the error distribution. To overcome this problem, we propose an outlier robust Sp‐type model averaging (SMA) procedure whenever data contain outliers. The proposed method combines the advantages… Show more
