Abstract: In this article, we propose penalized MT-estimator to handle simultaneously the problem of parameter estimation and variable selection in generalized linear models. The penalized MT-estimator is based on Valdora and Yohai’s robust MT-estimator and it is shown that for an appropriate penalty function, penalized MT-estimator satisfies oracle property. Penalized MT-estimator efficiently identifies the true model and non-zero coefficients if the sparsity of the true model was known in advance, with probability approaching to one. Main advantage of Penalized MT-estimator is that it produces estimates of non-zero parameters efficiently than the penalized maximum likelihood estimator when the outliers are present in the data. Finally, to examine the performance of the proposed method, simulation studies and a real data example are carried out.
