Dear Eva,

The recent book:

Statistical Data Analysis Explained: Applied Environmental Statistics with R
by C. Reimann, P. Filzmoser, R.G. Garrett, and R. Dutter; Wiley,
Chichester, 2008.

uses both (a modified) R Commander and robust methods, but I hope
Peter Filzmoser and Rudi Dutter read also this list and can tell more.


Best regards,
Valentin
