Dear All, Matilde Bini asked me to forward the message below to the list. Sorry for possible cross-posting. Claudio _____________________________________________________________ CALL FOR PAPERS STATISTICAL METHODS & APPLICATIONS - JISS Thematic Issue on "Robust multivariate statistical methods" http://www.springer.com/sgw/cda/frontpage/0,11855,5-10128-70-1169174-0,00.html The objective of this thematic issue is to be a forum for new developments and applications of robust statistical methods for multivariate data. The contributions to theoretical as well as applied statistics dealing with ROBUST STATISTICS are welcome. The following areas are mentioned, but other related topics are welcome as well. Concepts and theory of robust statistics Nonparametric methods; nonparametric and semiparametric models Multivariate analysis Data depth Statistical computing, graphics and data mining Regression quantile Linear and generalized linear models; mixed models Biostatistics Statistical methods in signal processing Statistical methods in business and finance Statistics in bioinformatics Asymptotic theory and efficiency The first paper will be written by Stephan Morghentaler Mathematics Department, Ecole Polytechnique F?d?rale, Lausanne, Switzerland and will deal with the state of the art of robust statistics. The DEADLINE for submissions is April 30, 2006. The papers must contain original unpublished work that is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Manuscripts submitted to this special issue will be refereed according to standard procedures for Statistical Methods and Applications The editorial process is expected to proceed rapidly thereafter (Expected decision date is August 30, 2006). Submission electronically is encouraged. Please e-mail a postscript or PDF file of your manuscript to Maurizio Vichi Dept. Statistica, Probabilit? e Statistiche Applicate P.le A.

Dear All, After the good response from the conference "Robust Statistics and R" in Treviso last October, we feel that a good opportunity for sharing our work and get feedback is the conference "useR!", held from June 15-17, 2006, in Vienna: http://www.r-project.org/useR-2006/ We are trying to organize a contributed session (semi-plenary) plus a so-called useR! island (semi-plenary spotlight presentations plus posters and table for discussions) on robust statistics. To this aim we would like to invite you to submit an abstract for a talk orposter presentation to this conference via the on-line form available on the conference's website. Please note that the deadline for abstract submissions is February 28, 2006. These persons will submit an abstract: - Claudio Agostinelli: Robust estimation in circular data - Valentin Todorov: Robust location and scatter estimators for Multivariate Analysis - Peter Filtzmoser: Multivariate outlier detection - Heinrich Fritz: robust PCA by projection pursuit - Mathias Templ: Stability of Cluster Analysis - Rudi Dutter - Martin Maechler - Andreas Ruckstuhl Please, join them by submitting an abstract. Best, Claudio Agostinelli, Peter Filzmoser, Matias Salibian Barrera, Martin Maechler, Valentin Todorov. -------------------------------------------------------------- Claudio Agostinelli Dipartimento di Statistica Universita' Ca' Foscari di Venezia San Giobbe, Cannaregio 873 30121 Venezia Tel: 041 2347446, Fax: 041 2347444 email: claudio at unive.it, www: www.dst.unive.it/~claudio -------------------------------------------------------------- Per favore non mandatemi allegati in Word o PowerPoint.
