Huber's estimator has had a long lasting impact, particularly on robust statistics. It is well known that under certain conditions, Huber's estimator is asymptotically minimax. A moderate generalization in rederiving Huber's estimator shows that Huber's estimator is not the only choice. We...

As a means of handling the problem of input modeling forstochastic simulation experiments, we build upon previous workof Wagner and Wilson using Bézier distributions. Wagner andWilson proposed a likelihood ratio test to determine how manycontrol points (that is, parameters) a Bézier...
