Abstract
This article explores model misspecification diagnostics based on least squares and least median of squares fits. It shows that in some circumstances, least median of squares methods (or any other estimator with the exact fit property) fail to reveal an incorrectly specified mean function, but least squares methods succeed. © 1992 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
