"With a dozen chapters aimed at readers of a broad standarddeviation of mathematical sophistication, this collection bynotables in the field explains...connection of robust techniquesand exploratory data analysis..." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 24, No.4, December 2000)

"As a tribute to the long-lasting impact of this collection ofpapers, the editors...decided to add Understanding Robust andExploratory Data Analysis to its Classic Library series...to extendthe life of this important work by making it available to futuregenerations of statisticians." (Journal of the American StatisticalAssociation, September 2001)

Originally published in hardcover in 1982, this book is now offered in a Wiley Classics Library edition. A contributed volume, edited by some of the preeminent statisticians of the 20th century, Understanding of Robust and Exploratory Data Analysis explains why and how to use exploratory data analysis and robust and resistant methods in statistical practice.
