Sinopsis

This IMA Volume in Mathematics and its Applications DIRECTIONS IN ROBUST STATISTICS AND DIAGNOSTICS is based on the proceedings of the first four weeks of the six week IMA 1989 summer program "Robustness, Diagnostics, Computing and Graphics in Statistics". An important objective of the organizers was to draw a broad set of statisticians working in robustness or diagnostics into collaboration on the challenging problems in these areas, particularly on the interface between them. We thank the organizers of the robustness and diagnostics program Noel Cressie, Thomas P. Hettmansperger, Peter J. Huber, R. Douglas Martin, and especially Werner Stahel and Sanford Weisberg who edited the proceedings. A vner Friedman Willard Miller, Jr. PREFACE Central themes of all statistics are estimation, prediction, and making decisions under uncertainty. A standard approach to these goals is through parametric mod­ elling. Parametric models can give a problem sufficient structure to allow standard, well understood paradigms to be applied to make the required inferences. If, how­ ever, the parametric model is not completely correct, then the standard inferential methods may not give reasonable answers. In the last quarter century, particularly with the advent of readily available computing, more attention has been paid to the problem of inference when the parametric model used is not correctly specified.

Reseña del editor

In robust statistics new procedures which have been derived from theoretical considerations are beginning to find their way into applications. Diagnostics have been designed to supplement standard methodology with both graphical and non-graphical procedures. Many diagnostics, particularly graphical ones, have been generally included in common computing packages. A theoretical basis for some diagnostics methods; however, has been a recent development and is the topic of a large part of this volume. Much of both robust estimation and diagnostics finds its beginnings in the work of John W. Tukey; one of his papers in Part II "Graphical Displays for Alternate Regression Fits", contributes to the interplay between the two fields.
