RECENT ADVANCES IN ROBUST STATISTICS THEORY AND...

This book offers a collection of recent contributions and emerging ideas in the areas of robust
statistics presented at the International Conference on Robust Statistics 2015 (ICORS 2015)
held in Kolkata during 12-16 January  2015. The book explores the applicability of robust
methods in other non-traditional areas which includes the use of new techniques such as skew
and mixture of skew distributions  scaled Bregman divergences  and multilevel functional data
methods  application areas being circular data models and prediction of mortality and life
expectancy. The contributions are of both theoretical as well as applied in nature. Robust
statistics is a relatively young branch of statistical sciences that is rapidly emerging as the
bedrock of statistical analysis in the 21st century due to its flexible nature and wide scope.
Robust statistics supports the application of parametric and other inference techniques over a
broader domain than the strictly interpreted model scenarios employed in classical statistical
methods. The aim of the ICORS conference  which is being organized annually since 2001  is to
bring together researchers interested in robust statistics  data analysis and related areas.
The conference is meant for theoretical and applied statisticians  data analysts from other
fields  leading experts  junior researchers and graduate students. The ICORS meetings offer a
forum for discussing recent advances and emerging ideas in statistics with a focus on
robustness  and encourage informal contacts and discussions among all the participants. They
also play an important role in maintaining a cohesive group of international researchers
interested in robust statistics and related topics  whose interactions transcend the meetings
and endure year round.
