Detailed formulae of the damping function as a component of the objective function in a modified classic least squares method were derived. The selection criteria for the controlling parameters of the damping functions have also been provided. The effectiveness of the algorithm has been verified with two numerical examples. The results have been analysed with reference to the methods of resistant compensation, which apply other damping functions, e.g. Hampel's function.}, type={Article}, title={A proposition of a new damping function as a component of the objective function in the adjustment resistant to gross errors}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/121241/PDF-MASTER/3_GK_VOL_56_NO_1_%202007_Gargula_Proozycja.pdf}, keywords={Outlying observations, resistant adjustment, damping function}, }
