Abstract

In the last decades, robust estimation has been widely applied to overcome the presence of gross errors in observations. Recently it has been shown that robust estimation, if computed appropriately, is able to cope with a larger amount of gross errors and also capable of providing reliable estimations in situations where systematic errors are present. It is the purpose of this paper to propose the use of global robust estimation for computing baselines strongly affected by multipath effects.
