Asymptotically stable estimators of location and scale parameters I. Estimation of location parameter

A sequence of equivariant estimators of a location parameter, which is asymptotically most robust with respect to bias oscillation function, is derived for two types of disturbances: e-contamination and Kolmogorov-Levy neighbourhoods. The sequence consists of properly chosen order statistics modified by adding a constant. As examples, the most bias-robust estimators for unimodal symmetric, Weibull, double-exponential and beta distributions are presented.
