Robust regression methods, such as RANSAC, suffer from
a sensitivity to the scale parameter used for generating
the inlier-outlier dichotomy. Projection based M-estimators
(pbM) offer a solution to this by reframing the regression
problem in a projection pursuit framework. In this paper
we modify the pbM formulation to obtain an improved pbM
algorithm. Furthermore, the modified algorithm is easily
generalized to handle heteroscedastic data . The superior
performance of heteroscedastic pbM, as compared to simple
pbM, is experimentally verified.
