Least Absolute Deviations: Theory, Applications and Algorithms

by Peter Bloomfield and William L. Steiger

Book Overview

Least squares is probably the best known method for fitting linear models and by far the most widely used. Surprisingly, the discrete L 1 analogue, least absolute deviations (LAD) seems to have been considered first.
