The methods introduced include robust estimation, testing, model selection, model check and diagnostics. They are developed for the following general classes of models:

Linear regressionGeneralized linear modelsLinear mixed modelsMarginal longitudinal data modelsCox survival analysis model

The methods are introduced both at a theoretical and applied level within the framework of each general class of models, with a particular emphasis put on practical data analysis. This book is of particular use for research students, applied statisticians and practitioners in the health field interested in more stable statistical techniques. An accompanying website provides R code for computing all of the methods described, as well as for analyzing all the datasets used in the book.
