Overview

About
Maintained by Martin MaechlerCRAN page ↗Repository ↗Website ↗Issues ↗Declared funder: Tobias Verbeke

"Essential" Robust Statistics. Tools allowing to analyze data with robust methods. This includes regression methodology including model selections and multivariate statistics where we strive to cover the book "Robust Statistics, Theory and Methods" by 'Maronna, Martin and Yohai'; Wiley 2006.

Changes in 0.99-7

NEW FEATURES

  • Our weights() methods for lmrob and glmrob results now work for weights(mod, type = "working") which are proportional to the type = "robustness" weights. This allows using the "influence measures" from stats, e.g., influence(<lmrob>); now tested somewhat.
