About this title

Synopsis:

Provides conceptual, logical, and mathematical support for fundamental exploratory data analysis and robust and resistant methods. Discusses the attitudes and philosophy underlying these methods and examines the connections between exploratory techniques, conventional techniques, and classical statistical theory. Features a unified treatment of transformations. Also explains robust and resistant techniques of estimation through examples and accessible mathematics, emphasizing estimation of (symmetric) location and estimation of scale.
