Linear regression is an important area of statistics, whether theoretical or applied. The field has developed a large variety of estimation methods, each with a particular focus but none suitable for all purposes. Adaptive methods are useful because they combine the desirable properties of two estimators. This book focuses on the construction of an adaptive combination of two estimationmethods, and presents some recent developments in the theory of robust estimation of linear regression models.Very useful for applications in biostatistics, environmental statistics, earth science and medicine, in business, economics and operations research and where data could be fitted with linear models.
