Robust Linear Models
====================

Robust linear models with support for the M-estimators listed under `Norms`_.

See `Module Reference`_ for commands and arguments.

Examples
--------

.. ipython:: python

    # Load modules and data
    import statsmodels.api as sm
    data = sm.datasets.stackloss.load()
    data.exog = sm.add_constant(data.exog)

    # Fit model and print summary
    rlm_model = sm.RLM(data.endog, data.exog, M=sm.robust.norms.HuberT())
    rlm_results = rlm_model.fit()
    print(rlm_results.params)

* `Robust Models 2 <examples/notebooks/generated/robust_models_1.ipynb>`_
