Robust statistical methodology and theory for large-scale data
Modern technology allows large-scale data to be collected in many new forms, and their underlying generating mechanisms can be extremely complex. In fact, an interesting (and perhaps initially surprising) feature of large-scale data is that it is often much harder to feel confident that one has identified a plausible statistical model. This is largely because there are so many forms of model violation and both visual and more formal statistical checks can become infeasible. It is therefore vital for trust in conclusions drawn from large studies that statisticians ensure that their methods are robust. The RobustStats proposal will introduce new statistical methodology and theory for a range…
