"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."
