contents We consider the robust estimation of the parameters of multivariate Gaussian linear regression models. To this aim we consider robust version of the usual (Mahalanobis) least-square criterion, with or without Ridge regularization. We introduce two methods each considered contrast: (i) online stochastic gradient descent algorithms and their averaged versions and (ii) offline fix-point algorithms. Under weak assumptions, we prove the asymptotic normality of the resulting estimates. Because the variance matrix of the noise is usually unknown, we propose to plug a robust estimate of it in the Mahalanobis-based stochastic gradient descent algorithms. We show, on synthetic data, the dramatic gain in terms of robustness of the proposed estimates as compared to the classical least-square ones. Well also show the computational efficiency of the online versions of the proposed algorithms. All the proposed algorithms are implemented in the R package RobRegression available on CRAN.
