Resistant estimators in poisson and gamma models with missing responses and an application to outlier detection

When dealing with situations in which the responses are discrete or show some type of asymmetry, the linear model is not appropriate to establish the relation between the responses and the covariates. Generalized linear models serve this purpose, since they allow one to model the mean of the respons...
