Adaptive Regression

"With this single objective in mind, this book describes in detail the theory, method, and algorithm for combining several pairs of estimation methods. It will be of interest for those who wish to perform regression analyses beyond the least squares method, and for researchers in robust statistics and graduate students who wish to learn some asymptotic theory for linear models." "The methods presented in this book are illustrated on numerical examples based on real data. The computer programs in S-PLUS for all procedures presented are available for data analysts working with applications in industry, economics, and the experimental sciences."--BOOK JACKET.
