Abstract
This study proposes a Robust Least Quantile of Squares–New Two-Parameter (LQS-NTP) estimator for addressing multicollinearity and extreme observations in linear regression models. The proposed estimator combines the high-breakdown robustness of the Least Quantile of Squares (LQS) method with the shrinkage properties of the New Two-Parameter (NTP) estimator. The Mean Squared Error (MSE) of the proposed estimator was derived, and its biasing parameters were obtained by minimizing the corresponding MSE. The performance of the proposed estimator was assessed using real-life Boston Housing and Portland Cement datasets and compared with some already existing methods. The data sets exhibited substantial multicollinearity, together with several outlying observations. The proposed LQS-NTP estimator achieved the lowest MSE of both data employed. These results demonstrate that the proposed estimator provides an effective alternative for regression estimation in the simultaneous presence of multicollinearity and extreme observations.
This study addresses the problem of multicollinearity in simultaneous equation models (SEMs) by proposing hybrid estimators that integrate Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with conventional estimation techniques. Multicollinearity, characterized by high correlations among explanatory variables, adversely affects the...

Multicollinearity and outliers remain two major challenges in linear regression modeling, often occurring simultaneously in practical applications and leading to instability, inflated variance, and unreliable inference. Although shrinkage estimators such as ridge and Liu estimators effectively address multicollinearity...

The Bell regression model is a contemporary statistical framework for the analysis of count data, especially in instances of overdispersion, in contrast to the Poisson model and the Negative binomial regression model. However, the existence of multicollinearity among explanatory variables can cause instability in param...

Regression analysis is a powerful tool for modeling relationships between variables, but its reliability hinges on meeting key assumptions of the classical linear regression model. When multicollinearity and outliers are simultaneously present, traditional estimation techniques such as Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) beco...

\citet{barczy2014asymptotic} showed that the ordinary least-squares (OLS) estimator of the innovation mean is inconsistent for a unit-root INAR(2) process. We construct a consistent intercept estimator using inverse-time weighted least squares (WLS) and derive its mixed-rate asymptotics: the intercept estimator is asym...
