Locally trimmed least squares: conventional inference in possibly nonstationary models
A novel IV estimation method, that we term Locally Trimmed LS (LTLS), is developed which yields estimators with (mixed) Gaussian limit distributions in situations where the data may be weakly or strongly persistent. In particular, we allow for nonlinear predictive type of regressions where the regressor can be stationary short/long memory as well as nonstationary long memory process or a nearly integrated array. The resultant t-tests have conventional limit distributions (i.e. N(0; 1)) free of (near to unity and long memory) nuisance parameters. In the case where the regressor is a fractional process, no preliminary estimator for the memory parameter is required. Therefore, the practitioner can conduct inference while being agnostic about the exact dependence structure in the data. The LTLS estimator is obtained by applying certain chronological trimming to the OLS instrument via the utilisation of appropriate kernel functions of time trend variables. The finite sample performance of LTLS based t-tests is investigated with the aid of a simulation experiment. An empirical application to the predictability of stock returns is also provided.

The Trimmed Lasso: Sparsity and Robustness
Nonconvex penalty methods for sparse modeling in linear regression have been a topic of fervent interest in recent years. Herein, we study a family of nonconvex penalty functions that we call the trimmed Lasso and that o…
Robust penalized least squares of depth trimmed residuals regression for high-dimensional data
Challenges with data in the big-data era include (i) the dimension $p$ is often larger than the sample size $n$ (ii) outliers or contaminated points are frequently hidden and more difficult to detect. Challenge (i) rende…
regressionNon-asymptotic analysis of the performance of the penalized least trimmed squares in sparse models
The least trimmed squares (LTS) estimator is a renowned robust alternative to the classic least squares estimator and is popular in location, regression, machine learning, and AI literature. Many studies exist on LTS, in…
