As sample sizes and the number of predictors increase, interactive methodology becomes less effective. Likewise, with limited understanding of the underlying contamination process, diagnostics are likely to fail as well. In this article, we advocate for a non-likelihood procedure that attempts to quantify the fraction of bad data as a part of the estimation step. These ideas also allow for the selection of important predictors under some assumptions. As there are many robust algorithms available, running several and looking for interesting differences is a sensible strategy for understanding the nature of the outliers.engThis is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly citedJournal articleminimum distance estimationmaximum likelihood estimationinfluence functionsentropy-23-00088-v2https://doi.org/10.3390/e23010088
