New robust statistical procedures for polytomous logistic regression models [PDF]

Biometrics, 2018, 2017
This paper derives a new family of estimators, namely the minimum density power divergence estimators, as a robust generalization of the maximum likelihood estimator for the polytomous logistic regression model. Based on these estimators, a family of Wald-type test statistics for linear hypotheses is introduced.
