An Alternative View of the Splicing Data

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series C, 1994, vol. 43, issue 3, 469-476

Abstract: Data on the time taken to splice telephone cables are re‐examined. A previous analysis using robust regression methods and with the variance a function of x is contrasted with a generalized linear model using a power variance function and a power link with x similarly transformed. The new model is shown to have advantages in allowing the natural modelling of skew residuals. The dependence of robust regression on assumptions about the variance function is discussed.
