Abstract
In this paper, the Fisher scoring method is applied to get M-estimator (robust estimator) in the mixed effects linear model for longitudinal data. And its asymptotic property is given later. Then the local influence analysis of variance of the error is studied based on M-estimation. At last the method is illustrated by the grape sugar data example.
