Robust statistics
Robust stat ist ics seeks to provide methods that emulate popular stat ist ical methods, but which are not unduly af fected by out liers or other small departures f rom model assumptions. In stat ist ics, classical est imat ion methods rely heavily on assumptions which are of ten not met in pract ice. In part icular, it is of ten assumed that the data errors are normally distributed, at least a...
متن کاملAmbiguity and robust statistics
Since the seminal work of Gilboa and Schmeidler [28, p. 142] a relation between decision making under ambiguity and robust Bayesian statistics has been hinted at, and indeed immediate similarities are quite evident. At the same time, a formal treatment of this topic and a complete characterization of the relation between the two approaches is still missing. The object of this paper is to ll th...

متن کاملRobust Higher Order Statistics
Sample estimates of moments and cumulants are known to be unstable in the presence of outliers. This problem is especially severe for higher order statistics, like kurtosis, which are used in algorithms for independent components analysis and projection pursuit. In this paper we propose robust generalizations of moments and cumulants that are more insensitive to outliers but at the same time re...
متن کاملNew approaches tackle rising pancreatic cancer rates.
Taking the immunomodulator simtuzumab with gemcitabine did not statistically significantly increase progression-free survival in advanced pancreatic cancer, according to a phase II study. Simtuzumab’s maker, Gilead Sciences (Foster City, Calif.), reported results of the double-blind randomized trial of 236 patients in September. Stromal targeting is one of several new approaches to treating thi...
