> Linear least square estimates assume the error has normal distribution and can behave badly when the errors are heavy-tailed. In practical we get various types of data. We need to include Robust Regression to employ a fitting criterion that is not as vulnerable as least square.
> In 1973, Huber introduced M-estimation for regression which stands for "maximum likelihood type". The method is resistant to outliers in the response variable and has been widely used.
> The new feature for MLlib will contain 3 new files
> /main/scala/org/apache/spark/mllib/regression/RobustRegression.scala
> /test/scala/org/apache/spark/mllib/regression/RobustRegressionSuite.scala
> /main/scala/org/apache/spark/examples/mllib/HuberRobustRegression.scala
> and one new class HuberRobustGradient in
> /main/scala/org/apache/spark/mllib/optimization/Gradient.scala
