The Exclude GUI is shown below.
The exclusion rule is named
AbsenteeVotes. You use the Fitting GUI to
associate an exclusion rule with the data set to be fit.
For each data set, perform a robust fit with bisquare weights using the
FlaElection equation defined above. For comparison purposes, also perform a
regular linear least squares fit. Refer to “Robust Least Squares” on page 3-11
for a description of the robust fitting methods provided by the toolbox.
You can identify the Palm Beach County data in the scatter plot by using the
