Dr. McKean is a professor of Statistics at Western Michigan
University. He has published many papers on robust nonparametric
procedures for linear, nonlinear, mixed models, and time series
designs. These include
papers on the theory for robust estimation and testing,
the geometry of robust inference, diagnostic methods, computational
algorithms and the small sample properties of
robust inference. He has worked with highly efficient and
high breakdown procedures.
He has published three books in Statistics, including the
monograph Robust Nonparametric Statistical Methods with
T.P. Hetmmansperger and the text Introduction to Mathematical
Statistics with R.V. Hogg and A.T. Craig. He was elected
Distinguished Faculty Scholar at Western Michigan University
and is a Fellow of the ASA.
