statsmodels.robust.norms.Hampel.psi

Hampel.psi(z)

The psi function for Hampel’s estimator

The analytic derivative of rho

Parameters:z (array-like) – 1d array Returns:psi – psi(z) = z for |z| <= a

psi(z) = a*sign(z) for a < |z| <= b

psi(z) = a*sign(z)*(c - |z|)/(c-b) for b < |z| <= c

psi(z) = 0 for |z| > c

Return type:array
