Rand Wilcox constantly updates the functions accompanying his books on robust statistics. Recently, they have been updated to version 20. The functions are available in the WRS package for R – for installation simply type
install.packages("WRS", repos="http://R-Forge.R-project.org")
In version 0.20, a number of functions dealing with ANCOVA have been added and some others improved. Unfortunately, only very few help files exist for the functions. I would recommend to check out the source code, as most functions have a comment section roughly explaining the parameters. Alternatively, consult Wilcox’ books for descriptions of the functions.
