Least absolute deviation (LAD) regression, i.e. L1 regression, is more resistant to the outliers in the response variable than the least-squares (LS) regression, but is relatively sensitive to outlying observations in explanatory variables. However, some but few attention has been contributed to the influence assessment for LAD regression because of the complexity of the objective function in LAD reression. This paper creates a new objective function, i.e. Qk(β|β^k), instead of LI objective function based on the MM iterative algorithm proposed by Hunter and Lange (2000). On the basis of the new objective function and MM iterative algorithm, the paper proves that the estimates of the case deletion model (CDM) and the mean shift outlier model (MSOM) are equal in linear and nonlinear LAD regression models, and proposes a new influence measure. In the end, some real examples are given to illustrate the use of this method.
