--------------------------------

             Summary: Add Robust Regression Algorithm with Turkey bisquare weight  function (Biweight Estimates) 
                 Key: SPARK-3188
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-3188
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: MLlib
    Affects Versions: 1.0.2
            Reporter: Fan Jiang
            Priority: Critical
             Fix For: 1.1.1, 1.2.0


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.

The Turkey bisquare weight function, also referred to as the biweight function, produces and M-estimator that is more resistant to regression outliers than the Huber M-estimator ()Andersen 2008: 19).
