[RsR] Tutorial: Introduction to Robust Statistics with R

[Valentin Todorov]

Hey Martin, why do you read/write mails instead of watching the EM matches 
(sorry)?! I do not care much about soccer too but just opened a bottle of 
Portuguese wine to celebrate and would like to use the opportunity to 
congratulate our Portuguese robastniks.

    ValenT>Today I came across the announcement of the tutorial at the UseR! 
Conference
    ValenT>in Dortmund "Introduction to Robust Statistics with R" and was 
surprised to
    ValenT> see that it will "... use R functions mainly from packages 
'MASS' and ..."

Of course I did, therefore I allowed myself to pull your leg.



>I think I mainly mentioned MASS because it's been a standard R
>package for a long time.

Then you should mention also MINVOL, ROBETH, COVINTER, PROGRESS which were 
around for quite a long time so far and are in all caps too.

But seriously speaking, 'MASS' stroke my eyes and I am sure that this will 
be what a newcomer will take home (the advantage of all caps you know, we 
should rather have chosen ROBUSTBASE).


Best regards,

Valentin
