Most existing results are derived in finite-dimensional settings with some particular choices of loss functions. This paper re-examines this issue by allowing for a diverging number of parameters combined with a broader array of robust error measures, called \u201crobust-   BD   \u201d, for the class of \u201cgeneral linear models\u201d. Under regularity conditions, we derive the influence function of the robust-   BD    parameter estimator and demonstrate that the robust-   BD    Wald-type test enjoys the robustness of validity and efficiency asymptotically. Specifically, the asymptotic level of the test is stable under a small amount of contamination of the null hypothesis, whereas the asymptotic power is large enough under a contaminated distribution in a neighborhood of the contiguous alternatives, thus lending supports to the utility of the proposed robust-   BD    Wald-type test.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e20030168","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,6]],"date-time":"2018-03-06T07:37:25Z","timestamp":1520321845000},"page":"168","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Robustness Property of Robust-BD Wald-Type Test for Varying-Dimensional General Linear Models"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6601-2093","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiao","family":"Guo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics and Finance, School of Management, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chunming","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI 53706, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"653","article-title":"Robust-BD estimation and inference for varying-dimensional general linear models","volume":"24","author":"Zhang","year":"2012","journal-title":"Stat.
