It **might** also help the OP clarify his intent in exactly the way you describe (or not). My intent is to perform a linear regression on a metric dependent variable. Unfortunately, two key assumptions - normal distribution and homoscedasticity - cannot be met. I read that using a robust

I have two regressions to perform - one with a metric DV (-3 to 3), the other with an ordered DV (0,1,2,3). Neither normal distribution not homoscedasticity is given. I have a two questions: (1) Some sources say robust regression take care of both lack of normal distribution and

Thank you Jeff! Please ignore the first of my two questions then, and apologies for not making it clear that my second question was about R. (2) Are there ways of using robust regressions with ordered data ... in R? Thank you On 7 October 2012 18:26, Jeff Newmiller jdnew...@dcn.davis.ca.us

Hi, I need to perform a robust regression with several dummy independent variables (i.e., binary), which are paired (clustered). The outcome (dependent variable) is continuous. I have tried using the robcov function with the next syntaxis: out1 - ols(y ~ x1 + x2 + x3 , x=T) robustclust -

You could try rlm in the MASS package; it doesn't use he resampling step. That seems to do the trick. Thank you! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Robust-regression-error-Too-many-singular-resamples-tp2286585p2287468.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive

[R] Robust regression error: Too many singular resamples

Hello. I've got a dataset that may have outliers in both x and y. While I am not at all familiar with robust regression, it looked like the function lmrob in package robustbase should handle this situation. When I try to use it, I get: Too many singular resamples Aborting fast_s_w_mem()
