Talk:Robust statistics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is within the scope of WikiProject Statistics, which collaborates to improve Wikipedia's coverage of statistics. If you would like to participate, please visit the project page.

I think this article could be improved greatly if it would provide some information about how robust statistics could be used in practice. I think that's the real goal of this field is to use it to improve estimates. For example, show how you would use robust stastics to improve the linear regression of a sequence of linear measurements with a single outlier (as the problem is demonstrated in the regression analysis article). This article should demonstrate a solution!
