Robust statistical methods are now being used in a wide range of
disciplines. The appeal of these methods is that they are designed
to perform about as well as classic techniques when standard
assumptions are true—but they continue to perform well in
situations where classic methods perform poorly. This book
provides a relatively non-technical guide to modern methods. The
focus is on applying modern methods using R, understanding when and
why classic methods can be unsatisfactory, and fostering a
conceptual understanding of the relative merits of different
techniques. A recurring theme is that no single method reveals
everything one would like to know about the population under study.
An appeal of robust methods is that under general conditions they
provide much higher power than conventional techniques. Perhaps
more importantly, they help provide a deeper and more nuanced
understanding of data. The book is for readers who had at least one
semester of statistics, aimed at non-statisticians.
