Originally published in hardcover in 1982, this book is now offered in a Wiley Classics Library edition. A contributed volume, edited by some of the preeminent statisticians of the 20th century, Understanding of Robust and Exploratory Data Analysis explains why and how to use exploratory data analysis and robust and resistant methods in statistical practice.

From the Publisher

Provides conceptual, logical, and mathematical support for fundamental exploratory data analysis and robust and resistant methods. Discusses the attitudes and philosophy underlying these methods and examines the connections between exploratory techniques, conventional techniques, and classical statistical theory. Features a unified treatment of transformations. Also explains robust and resistant techniques of estimation through examples and accessible mathematics, emphasizing estimation of (symmetric) location and estimation of scale.
