Comparison of Estimate Method of Moment and Least Trimmed Squares in Models Robust Regression

Abstrak

The poverty line is the minimum income that a person must earn to be considered to have a decent standard of living in a particular area. In 2022, the poverty line in West Sumatra Province was higher than the poverty line in Indonesia as a whole. An analysis was conducted to identify the factors influencing the poverty line in West Sumatra Province. However, the observational data on the poverty line and its influencing factors contained outlier. Therefore, robust regression analysis was performed to address the data containing outlier, comparing two estimates: MM estimation and LTS estimation. By examining the  value, the best estimate was found to be MM estimation, with significant factors being average net wages/salaries, TPT, APM, and AMH. If the average net wages/salaries, TPT, APM, and AMH increase, the poverty line in West Sumatra will rise. With an  of 0.9582, the model can explain 95.82% of the variation in the poverty line, while the remaining variation is explained by other factors not included in the model.
