For a sequence of these functions “t sub n,” define “s sub n” as equal to “t sub n” whenever “t sub n” is greater than “n to the negative one-fourth power” and 0 elsewhere; Joseph Hodges showed that the sequence of these functions “s sub n” has better asymptotic performance than “t sub n,” but is highly irregular. The influence function (10[1])obtained from Huber’s psi function is used to construct a class of these functions denoted by the letter capital M. When these functions have a high breakdown point, they are robust. These functions’ variance (10[1])is greater than or equal to one over the Fisher information. (10[1])These functions either output points or intervals. (10[1])A common (10[1])method of obtaining (10[1])these functions (-5[1])finds the parameters that maximize the log-likelihood. (-5[4])The bias of these functions (10[1])describes (10[1])how far off (-5[1])their expected (-5[1])value (10[1])is. (10[2])For 10 points, name these functions that approximate (10[1])the (10[1])value of a population (-5[1])parameter. (10[1])■END■ (10[5]0[2])
