This monograph deals with Introduction, Basic Concepts, Brief Review of Regression Theory. It present the work related to Least Absolute Deviations (LAD) Regression and its estimation theory with and without auto correlated errors. LAD and Least Squares estimation of censored regression model with fixed and marginal effects are also discussed. Further, it contains LAD estimation for linear and nonlinear regression model for truncated and censored data.
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. Possibly the LAD criterion was forced into the background because of the com putational difficulties associated with it. Recently there has been a resurgence of interest in LAD. It was spurred on by work that has resulted in efficient al gorithms for obtaining LAD fits. Another stimulus came from robust statistics. LAD estimates resist undue effects from a feyv, large errors. Therefore. in addition to being robust, they also make good starting points for other iterative, robust procedures. The LAD criterion has great utility. LAD fits are optimal for linear regressions where the errors are double exponential. However they also have excellent properties well outside this narrow context. In addition they are useful in other linear situations such as time series and multivariate data analysis. Finally, LAD fitting embodies a set of ideas that is important in linear optimization theory and numerical analysis. viii PREFACE In this monograph we will present a unified treatment of the role of LAD techniques in several domains. Some of the material has appeared in recent journal papers and some of it is new. This presentation is organized in the following way. There are three parts, one for Theory, one for Applicatior.s and one for Algorithms.

For its simplicity and elegant theoretical properties, Least Squares (LS) regression has been used as a primary tool for a long time. However, it is well known that LS regression is very sensitive to the presence of unusual points in the data used to fit a model. As an alternative to LS regression, this thesis studied the properties and fitting algorithms for Least Absolute Deviations (LADs) regression model. Two optimization methods were investigated for fitting the model of LAD. The first one made use of the weighted median computation in each step, and iteratively estimated the coefficients to minimize the loss function. The second method applied functional gradient descent in each iteration, and built the model incrementally. The experiments on simulated data and real world data were performed, and the performance of these two methods was compared in terms of algorithm efficiency and prediction accuracy. The result of comparison showed that although both techniques work well to minimize the loss function, it is sufficient to say that compared to weighted median method, gradient descent method has a better performance not only on efficiency but also on the accuracy.
