Experimental Comparison

Two experiments are presented. The first is a general comparison of two estimators, the AM-estimator and the M-estimator with Tukey's biweight function, with simulated data. The second deals with an application. Experimental results demonstrate that the AM-estimator is significantly better than the traditional M-estimator in the estimation accuracy, stability, and breakdown point.
