In the presence of a heavy-tail noise distribution, regression becomes much more di cult. Traditional robust regression methods assume that the noise distribution is symmetric and...
A common problem in linear regression is that largely aberrant values can strongly influence the results. The least quartile difference (LQD) regression estimator is highly robus...

Background: When analyzing microarray gene expression data, missing values are often encountered. Most multivariate statistical methods proposed for microarray data analysis canno...
Many regression schemes deliver a point estimate only, but often it is useful or even essential to quantify the uncertainty inherent in a prediction. If a conditional density estim...
