✦ Synopsis

This paper describes several analyses in which a robust method, namely the least median of squares (LMS) has been used in the development of a mathematical model to relate suspended particulate air pollution concentration to meteorological factors. The robust procedure provides a formal method that not only pays due attention to anomalies or outliers in the data but also reduces the influence of the outliers. The study showed that the robust procedure yielded more reliable results than did the classical least squares (LS) approach.
