In Part 1 of this study, we reported on an evaluation of the performances of four robust estimation techniques, namely: the modified residuals technique, the modified weights technique, the modified residuals-weights ...
Whitehead (1967:4) defines the term “Education is t

A model for the estimation of student unit costs and the staffing requirements for university academic programmes is presented. The development of the model starts off with the specification of a staff distribution matrix, ...
A model for the establishment of an integrated geodetic datum covering a region is treated. The integrated geodetic datum is understood here to comprise the geoid, the reference ellipsoid, and the positional coordinates. ...
A procedure for robust linear estimation of parameters on the basis of iterative weighting of observations is presented. The approach considers the weights of observations as not just functions of the observational variances, ...
A technique for the robust estimation of geodetic parameters under the least squares method when weights are specified through the use of the mean square error is presented. The mean square error is considered in the ...
