Judul: Perbandingan Metode MKT, LTS, WIN, dan Theil pada Pendugaan Parameter Regresi Apabila Galatnya Menyebar Eksponensial
Abstrak: Parameter estimation in simple linear regression analysis can be done with Ordinary Least Square (OLS). This method requires the assumption that error must be Normally distributed. However, in reality error is not always Normally distributed, but has another distribution, for example Exponential. Concequently, parameter estimation by MKT is not optimal. This problem can be solved by applying robust regression. This research applied Least Trimmed Square (LTS) method, Winsorized Least Square (WIN) method, and Theil’s method as a solution. The data used in this study was simulation data. Explanatory variables (x) is generated from the Normal distribution, while the error generated from the Exponential distribution. The results of estimation are evaluated with MSE and Relative MSE. The results showed that LTS was the best method when the error is Exponentially distributed.

Judul: Kajian Perbandingan Metode Least Median of Squares dan Maximum Likelihood Type pada Regresi Kekar
Abstrak: Keberadaan pencilan dapat memengaruhi pendugaan parameter dalam analisis regresi yang menggunakan metode ordinary least squares (OLS). Metode regresi kekar dapat digunakan sebagai pendekatan alternatif dari OLS. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengkaji perbandingan dari dua metode regresi kekar, yaitu least median of squares (LMS) dan maximum likelihood type (M) melalui data simulasi. Data simulasi diperoleh dengan membangkitkan bilangan acak berdasarkan model regresi linear berganda dua peubah penjelas. Kombinasi yang digunakan adalah jenis pencilan, proporsi pencilan, dan ukuran contoh. Berdasarkan nilai bias mutlak dan kuadrat tengah galat (KTG) diperoleh bahwa metode M lebih tepat diterapkan ketika data mengandung vertical outlier atau good leverage point, lalu diikuti oleh metode LMS. Sementara itu, metode LMS dapat menduga parameter regresi pada data yang mengandung bad leverage point. Analisis selanjutnya dilakukan pada data pertanian mengenai pengaruh pupuk organik dan konsumsi beras per kapita terhadap produksi padi sawah di 34 provinsi tahun 2017. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa metode LMS menghasilkan nilai bias mutlak dan KTG terkecil., The presence of outliers can be affect to estimate the parameters of the linear regression using ordinary least squares (OLS). The robust regression methods can be used as an alternative to OLS. This study aims to compare the performance of two methods, namely least median of squares (LMS) and maximum likelihood type (M) using simulation study. The simulation data obtained by generating random number based on multiple linear regression with two explanatory variables. With combination of the sample size, outliers type, and the number of outliers. Based on the criteria: absoulut bias and mean square error (MSE), the M-estimator gave better result than the LMS-estimator when the data contains vertical outliers or good leverage point. Meanwhile, the LMS-estimator gave better result at data containing bad leverage points. The next step is analysed data application for agriculture on the affect of organic fertilizer and rice consumption per capita against the use of rice production in 34 provinces in 2017 using the best method based on data characteristic. The results from LMS-estimator produce the smallest absolut bias and MSE.
