The International Conference on Robust
Statistics (ICORS) has been an annual
international conference since 2001. The aim of
the conferences is to bring together researchers
interested in robust statistics, data analysis
and related areas. This includes theoretical and
applied statisticians as well as data analysts
from other fields, and leading experts as well
as junior researchers and graduate students.
The ICORS meetings create a forum to discuss
recent progress and emerging ideas in statistics
and encourage informal contacts and discussions
among all the participants. They also play an
important role in maintaining a cohesive group
of international researchers interested in
robust statistics and related topics, whose
interactions transcend the meetings and endure
year round.
The
previous ICORS meetings were held in Vorau,
Austria (2001), Vancouver, Canada (2002),
Antwerp, Belgium (2003), Beijing,
China (2004), Jyväskylä, Finland
(2005), Lisbon, Portugal (2006), Buenos
Aires, Argentina (2007), Antalya, Turkey
(2008), Parma, Italy (2009), Prague, The
Czech Republic (2010), and Valladolid, Spain
(2011). |

ICORS welcomes contributions to applied
statistics as well as theoretical statistics,
and in particular new problems related to robust
statistics and data analysis. The following
areas are expected to be well represented at the
conference, but contributed talks on other
related topics are also welcomed.
- Concepts
and theory of robust statistics
- Asymptotic
theory and efficiency
- Novel
applications of robust statistical methods
- Robust and
nonparametric multivariate statistics
- Robust
functional data analysis
- Robust
regression, including quantile regression
- Linear and
generalized linear models; mixed
models
- Biostatistics
- Statistical
methods in bioinformatics/genetics
- Statistical
computing and graphics and data mining
- Data mining
and machine learning
