Understanding Robust and Exploratory Data Analysis

Description

This book is a classic. Even though it was written prior to the personal computer revolution, it's relevance is strong. The authors are fantastic at giving the reader a true feel for the analytical tools and approaches. This may not be a how-book for today, since many of the tools are now pre-programmed into software packages, but it is an excellent resource for developing the -intuitive- feeling of the subject. The Wiley Classics Library consists of selected books that have become recognized classics in their respective fields. With these new unabridged and inexpensiveeditions, Wiley hopes to extend the life of these important works by making themavailable to future generations of mathematicians and scientists.
