Abstract: ROBREG.SRC estimates a linear regression robustly and rapidly. ROBREG.SRC should be especially useful for models whose independent variables include both dummy and continuous- valued regressors. It is known that these models lead to computational and conceptual difficulties for "high-breakdown" robust regression based on resampling schemes. (An example is REDI.SRC in this archive, which is effective when there are no dummy variables.)
