The traditional Errors-in-variables (EIV) models are widely adopted in applied sciences. The EIV model estimators, however, can be highly biased by gross error. This paper focuses on robust estimation in EIV models. A new class of robust estimators, called robust weighted total least squared estimators (RWTLS), is introduced. Robust estimators of the parameters of the EIV models are derived from M-estimators and Lagrange multiplier method. A simulated example is carried out to demonstrate the performance of the presented RWTLS. The result shows that the RWTLS algorithm can indeed resist gross error to achieve a reliable solution.
