Peter Rousseeuw Biography

Peter Rousseeuw is one of the most popular and richest Statistician who was born on October 13, 1956 in Wilrijk, Flemish Region, Belgium.

Rousseeuw has authored many publications. He proposed the Least Trimmed Squares method and S-estimators for robust regression, which can resist outliers in the data. He also introduced the Minimum Volume Ellipsoid and Minimum Covariance Determinant methods for robust scatter matrices. With L. Kaufman he coined the word medoid when proposing the k-medoids method for cluster analysis, also known as Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM). His silhouette display shows the result of a cluster analysis, and the resulting index is often used to select the number of clusters. The Rousseeuw-Croux scale estimator Q n {\displaystyle Q_{n}} is an efficient alternative to the median absolute deviation, see robust measures of scale. With I. Ruts and John Tukey he introduced the bagplot, a bivariate generalization of the boxplot. His more recent work has focused on concepts and algorithms for statistical depth functions in the settings of multivariate, regression and functional data, and on robust principal component analysis . His 1984 paper has been reprinted in Breakthroughs in Statistics collected and annotated the 60 most influential papers in statistics from 1850 to 1990.
