Outliers can contaminate the measurement process of many nonlinear systems, which can be caused by sensor errors, model uncertainties, change in ambient environment, data loss or malicious cyber attacks. When the extended Kalman filter…

Robust Optimization has traditionally taken a pessimistic, or worst-case viewpoint of uncertainty which is motivated by a desire to find sets of optimal policies that maintain feasibility under a variety of operating conditions. In this…
Whole robustness is a nice property to have for statistical models. It implies that the impact of outliers gradually vanishes as they approach plus or minus infinity. So far, the Bayesian literature provides results that ensure whole…
