Abstract

This paper presents robust estimators for binary and multinomial circular logistic regression, where a circular predictor is related to the response. An extensive Monte Carlo Simulation Study clearly shows the robustness of proposed methods. Finally, three numerical examples of Botany, Crime and Meteorology illustrate the application of these methods to Life and Social Sciences. Although in the Botany data the proposed method showed little improvement, in the Crime and Meteorological data an increment up to 5% and 4% of accuracy, respectively, is achieved.

Key words: Circular data; Circular logistic regression; Maximum likelihood estimation; Multinomial circular logistic regression; Robustness

Resumen

Este artículo presenta estimadores robustos para el modelo de regresión logística circular binomial y mutinomial. Un estudio de Monte Cario muestra la robustez de los métodos propuestos. Finalmente, tres ejemplos numéricos en botánica, criminalística y meteorología muestran la aplicación de estos modelos a las Ciencias.

Palabras clave: Datos circulares; Regresión logística circular; Regresión logística circular multinomial; Estimación de máxima verosimilitud; Ro bustez
