Robust Regression and Outlier Detection / Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics (PDF)

WILEY-INTERSCIENCE PAPERBACK SERIES

The Wiley-Interscience Paperback Series consists of selected
books that have been made more accessible to consumers in an effort
to increase global appeal and general circulation. With these new
unabridged softcover volumes, Wiley hopes to extend the lives of
these works by making them available to future generations of
statisticians, mathematicians, and scientists.

"The writing style is clear and informal, and much of the
discussion is oriented to application. In short, the book is a
keeper."

"I would highly recommend the addition of this book to the
libraries of both students and professionals. It is a useful
textbook for the graduate student, because it emphasizes both the
philosophy and practice of robustness in regression settings, and
it provides excellent examples of precise, logical proofs of
theorems. . . .Even for those who are familiar with robustness, the
book will be a good reference because it consolidates the research
in high-breakdown affine equivariant estimators and includes an
extensive bibliography in robust regression, outlier diagnostics,
and related methods. The aim of this book, the authors tell us, is
'to make robust regression available for everyday statistical
practice.' Rousseeuw and Leroy have included all of the
necessary ingredients to make this happen."
