Abstract The L1 and L2 regularized trend filtering can’t extract correct trend from the series which have outliers. Thus, under the consideration of robustness, this paper substitutes least square loss function with Huber loss function to obtain a robust estimation of the L1 and L2 regularized trend filtering by convex optimization. The simulation shows that robust estimation can prevent the effect of outliers. This method can be applied to financial data which has many outliers to get a robust estimation of market trend.
