Tiku M.L., Akkaya A.D. Robust Estimation and Hypothesis Testing

New Age International (P) Ltd., Publishers, 2004. — 354 p. — ISBN: 978-81-224-2537-6.This book is intended as a reference for theoreticians and practitioners of statistics and can be used as an auxiliary text for a senior-level course on robustness and statistical inference. This book is also intended to illustrate the appropriateness of various robust methods based on complete samples (avoiding unnecessary censoring of observations) for solving numerous statistical inference problems in a number of important areas. This monograph has provided the authors an opportunity to consolidate the results given in numerous papers published since 1985. A basic knowledge of sampling distributions, statistical inference, and order statistics is assumed. The book contains numerous examples which illustrate the usefulness of robust methods based on complete as well as censored samples. For readers interested in research on modified likelihood estimation, robust estimation and hypothesis testing, fairly extensive references to recent works are given.
