Asymptotic properties of M-estimators with complete data are investigated extensively. In the presence of missing data, however, the standard inference procedures for complete data cannot be applied directly. In this article, the inverse probability weighted method is applied to missing response problem to define M-estimators. The existence of M-estimators is established under very general regularity conditions. Consistency and asymptotic normality of the M-estimators are proved, respectively. An iterative algorithm is applied to calculating the M-estimators. It is shown that one step iteration suffices and the resulting one-step M-estimate has the same limit distribution as in the fully iterated M-estimators.
