These models are widely used in social sciences. To test the appropriateness...

25 May High Breakdown Inference in the Mixed Linear Model
Mixed linear models are used to analyze data in many settings. These models have a multivariate normal formulation in most cases. The maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) or the residual MLE (REML) is usually chosen to estimate the parameters. However, the latter are based on the strong assumption of exact multivariate normality. Welsh and Richardson have shown that these estimators are not robust...

It is conventional to use non-parametric statistics based on empirical income cumulants which are used in the construction of LC and other related second-order dominance criteria. However, although attractive because of its simplicity and its apparent flexibility, this approach...
