In this paper we show that the recent notion of regression depth can be used as a data-analytic tool to measure the amount of separation between successes and failures in the binary response framework. Extending this algorithm allows us to compute the overlap in data sets which are commonly...

This paper examines the distribution of Belgian consumer prices and its interaction with aggregate inflation over the period June 1976-September 2000. Given the fat-tailed nature of this distribution, both classical and robust measures of location, scale and skewness are presented. We found a...
