[R] robust model selection criteria

[Carsten.Colombier@efv.admin.ch]

Dear R-help-team,

do you know if there is a package for R available that contains a function,
which calculates a robust model selection criterium like robust AIC and has
a robust selection function like "step" for lm-objects, for an  rlm-object.
Unfortunately, functions like "step" or "stepAIC" cannot be applied to
rlm-objects. Moreover, these functions do not use  robust AIC.

Thanks for your help!

With best regards,
Carsten Colombier
