Written by an internationally recognized expert in the field of robust statistics, this book addresses a range of well-established techniques while exploring, in depth, new and exciting methodologies. Local robustness and global robustness are discussed, and problems of non-identifiability and adaptive estimation are considered. Rather than attempt an exhaustive investigation of robustness, the author provides readers with a timely review of many of the most important problems in statistical inference involving robust estimation, along with a brief look at confidence intervals for location. Throughout, the author meticulously links research in maximum likelihood estimation with the more general M-estimation methodology. Specific applications and R and some MATLAB subroutines with accompanying data sets—available both in the text and online—are employed wherever appropriate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eProviding invaluable insights and guidance, \u003ci\u003eRobustness Theory and Application\u003c\/i\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers a balanced presentation of theory and applications within each topic-specific discussion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures solved examples throughout which help clarify complex and\/or difficult concepts\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMeticulously links research in maximum likelihood type estimation with the more general M-estimation methodology\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDelves into new methodologies which have been developed over the past decade without stinting on coverage of “tried-and-true” methodologies\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes R and some MATLAB subroutines with accompanying data sets, which help illustrate the power of the methods described\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRobustness Theory and Application\u003c\/i\u003e is an important resource for all statisticians interested in the topic of robust statistics.
