Title: A refined notion of qualitative robustness for estimators derived from empirical measures Authors:  Henryk Zaehle - Saarland University (Germany) [presenting]
Abstract: A refinement of Hampel's notion of qualitative robustness for empirical plug-in estimators is proposed. First, we present criteria for the refined notion of robustness. Then, we apply these criteria to some specific plug-in estimators including empirical risk measures and maximum likelihood estimators. Finally, we explain how the refined notion of robustness can be used to reasonably classify plug-in estimators w.r.t. their degrees of robustness.
