Abstract

In this paper, we study a robust estimation method for a mixed nonlinear model. In this model, we consider that the distribution of the observations belongs to the elliptical family. For the parametric inference, we propose an estimator based on minimum density power divergence (MDPD). Under some regularity conditions, we establish the main properties of this estimator; that is, consistency and asymptotic normality. We illustrate the robustness of the MDPDE compared to the maximum likelihood using some Monte Carlo simulations. Finally, we provide the results of an application on real data.
