Theory and Applications of Recent Robust Methods

This book contains recent contributions to the theory and applications of robust statistics, presented at the International Conference on Robust Statistics (ICORS 2003) in Antwerp, Belgium. The papers deal with various aspects of robustness, including algorithms, asymptotics, inference and diagnostics. Many contributions contain links to other fields, such as computer vision, computational geometry, chemometrics and finance. Intended for both researchers and practitioners, this book will be a valuable resource for studying and applying recent robust statistical methods.
