Abstract

This is a short introduction to three papers on robustness, published by Peter Bickel as single author in the period 1975–1984: “One-step Huber estimates in the linear model” (Bickel 1975), “Parametric robustness: small biases can be worthwhile” (Bickel 1984a), and “Robust regression based on infinitesimal neighbourhoods” (Bickel1984b). It was the time when fundamental developments and understanding in robustness took place, and Peter Bickel has made deep contributions in this area. I am trying to place the results of the three papers in a new context of contemporary statistics.
