Huber Loss Function
-------------------
Figure 8.8

An example of fitting a simple linear model to data which includes outliers
(data is from table 1 of Hogg et al 2010). A comparison of linear regression
using the squared-loss function (equivalent to ordinary least-squares
regression) and the Huber loss function, with c = 1 (i.e., beyond 1 standard
deviation, the loss becomes linear).
