Description

We discuss updates to Rfit - an R package for computation of rank-based procedures for general linear models (GLMs) including estimation of parameters, inference, and residual analysis. These estimates and the associated inference are robust to outliers in response space and highly efficient relative to traditional least squares methods.

In this talk, we highlight some recent, ongoing, and planned updates to Rfit. Illustration of the package features will include data examples and simulation results.
