[RsR] Robust session at useR 2006

[claudio]

Dear All,

After the good response from the conference "Robust Statistics and R" in
Treviso last October, we feel that a good opportunity for sharing our work
and get feedback is the conference "useR!", held from June 15-17, 2006, in 
Vienna: http://www.r-project.org/useR-2006/

We are trying to organize a contributed session (semi-plenary) plus a
so-called useR! island (semi-plenary spotlight presentations plus posters
and table for discussions) on robust statistics.

To this aim we would like to invite you to submit an abstract for a talk 
orposter presentation to this conference via the on-line form available on 
the conference's website. Please note that the deadline for abstract 
submissions is February 28, 2006.

These persons will submit an abstract:

- Claudio Agostinelli: Robust estimation in circular data
- Valentin Todorov: Robust location and scatter estimators for
                     Multivariate Analysis
- Peter Filtzmoser: Multivariate outlier detection
- Heinrich Fritz: robust PCA by projection pursuit
- Mathias Templ: Stability of Cluster Analysis
- Rudi Dutter
- Martin Maechler
- Andreas Ruckstuhl

Please, join them by submitting an abstract.

Best,
Claudio Agostinelli, Peter Filzmoser, Matias Salibian Barrera, Martin
Maechler, Valentin Todorov.
