Abstract

This paper introduces an orthogonal forward regression (OFR) model structure selection algorithm based on the M-estimators. The basic idea of the proposed approach is to incorporate an IRLS inner loop into the modified Gram-Schmidt procedure. In this manner the OFR algorithm is extended to bad data conditions with improved performance due to M-estimators' inherent robustness to outliers. An illustrative example is included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
