This text presents methods that are robust to the assumption of a
multivariate normal distribution or methods that are robust to certain
types of outliers. Instead of using exact theory based on the
multivariate normal distribution, the simpler and more applicable
large sample theory is given. The text develops among the first
practical robust regression and robust multivariate location and
dispersion estimators backed by theory. The robust techniques are
illustrated for methods such as principal component analysis,
canonical correlation analysis, and factor analysis. A simple way to
bootstrap confidence regions is also provided. Much of the research on
robust multivariate analysis in this book is being published for the
first time. The text is suitable for a first course in Multivariate
Statistical Analysis or a first course in Robust Statistics. This
graduate text is also useful for people who are familiar with the
traditional multivariate topics, but want to know more about handling
data sets with outliers. Many R programs and R data sets are available
on the author’s website.
