The original email:
 Dear allstat-members,
 I would appreciate if someone could explain (or provide citations) how to find any paper to deal with Least-absolute-deviations (LAD),Huber M-, nonparametric rank-based,robust,Bayesian and ridge regression which has as the mean-squared error (MSE),as w
ll as, a WWW search for these because I would like to compare MSE
estimates in these six methods in my research. Any suggestion ? Thanks
 I saw something about these in a book written by David Birkes &Yadolah Dodge , Alternative Methods of Regression (1993) but it was not enough for me.
 Many thanks! 
 Cheers,
