Robustness and Complex Data Structures Festschrift in Honour of Ursula Gather [Hardcover]

This Festschrift in honour of Ursula Gathers 60th birthday deals with modern topics in the field of robust statistical methods, especially for time series and regression analysis, and with statistical methods for complex data structures. The individual contributions of leading experts provide a textbook-style overview of the topic, supplemented by current research results and questions. The statistical theory and methods in this volume aim at the analysis of data which deviate from classical stringent model assumptions, which contain outlying values and/or have a complex structure. Written for researchers as well as master and PhD students with a good knowledge of statistics. ?Presented in honor of Ursula Gathers 60th birthday this book deals with modern topics in the field of robust statistical methods, especially for time series and regression analysis, and with statistical methods for complex data structures.Part I Univariate and Multivariate Robust Methods: Multivariate Median (Hannu Oja).- Depth Statistics (Karl Mosler).- Multivariate Extremes:?A Conditional Quantile Approach (Marie-Fran?oise Barme-Delcroix).- High-Breakdown Estimators of Multivariate Location and Scatter (Peter Rousseeuw and Mia Hubert).- Upper and Lower Bounds for Breakdown Points (Christine H.
