Notes: OLS is the Ordinary Least Squares estimator; LAD is the Least Absolute Deviations estimator
(Gentle, 1997); BT is the power exponential or Box-Tiao estimator (Zeckhauser and Thompson, 1970), GT
is a partially adaptive estimator based on the generalized t distribution (McDonald and Newey, 1984,
1988); t is a partially adaptive estimator based on the Student’s t distribution; EGB2 is a partially adaptive
estimator based on the exponential generalized beta distribution of the second kind; Huber 1 and 2 refer to
the estimators proposed by Huber (1964) and Huber (1981); Manski (AML) is the adaptive maximum
likelihood estimator advanced by Hsieh and Manski (1987) based on a normal kernel density; and Newey
(j) is the generalized method of moments estimator with j moments used in estimation (Newey, 1988). For
more details about the former estimation techniques please see McDonald and White (1993).
