Both lm and rlm are used for multiple linear regression. rlm stands for robust multiple linear regression and so is considered to treat outliers in a better way.

How exactly does rlm and lm work? Which is better?

In what circumstances rlm is preferred over lm and vice versa?

Why is there no significance for R square parameter for the model built using rlm?

And, Are there any alternative methods other than lm and rlm for multiple linear regression in R?

  • so will it be a problem if we use RLM when there are no outliers? Sorry, but can you provide more clarity on when exactly to use RLM and LM? – Selvam Apr 29 '17 at 11:45
  • Can you also enlighten me a little on QR factorisation and how it can be done in R? – Selvam Apr 29 '17 at 11:50
  • okay, thanks; have a nice day. i have upvoted your answer. – Selvam Apr 29 '17 at 12:03
