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The papers must contain original unpublished work that is not being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

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.
