Abstract: roblgt estimates a binary logit regression robustly. It screens the continuous-valued independent variables for leverage points that can seriously distort the logit regression. To guarantee the existence of the maximum- likelihood estimate, ROBLGT also applies a transformation to the binary dependent variable (see Rousseeuw and Christmann, "Robustness against separation and outliers in logistic regression," Computational Statistics and Data Analysis 43 (2003), 315-332).
