The Edgeworth' series approximates the empirical distribution of measurement errors and gives an opportunity to modify the empirical characteristics of errors distribution. The method of estimation used is based on the principle of the alternative choice. Its natural robustness for outliers was the basis for newly created method called PAC-E. The paper presents the algorithm and some numerical tests that were carried out to compare the results of the proposed method with the results of the classical LS adjustment. Special attention was paid on the effect of non-zero excess and robustness of the proposed method.}, type={Article}, title={Further developments in PAC method of adjustment of geodetic networks}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/121274/PDF-MASTER/3_GK_VOL_55_NO_2_%202006_Dumalski_Dalszy.pdf}, keywords={Edgeworth' series, robust estimation, principle of an alternative choice, outliers, excess, asymmetry}, }
