Mia Hubert

Mia Hubert is a Belgian mathematical statistician known for her research on topics in robust statistics including medoid-based clustering, ^[a] regression depth, ^[b] the medcouple for robustly measuring skewness, ^[c] box plots for skewed data, ^[f] and robust principal component analysis, ^[d] and for her implementations of robust statistical algorithms in the R statistical software system, MATLAB, ^[e] and S-PLUS. ^[a] She is a professor in the statistics and data science section of the department of mathematics at KU Leuven. ^[1]

Education and career

Hubert earned a diploma in mathematics in 1992 from the University of Antwerp, ^[2] and obtained her Ph.D. in 1997 at the same university. Her dissertation, Robust Regression for Data Analysis, was supervised by Peter Rousseeuw. ^[3] She joined the KU Leuven faculty in 2001. ^[2]

She was the original developer of the R package cluster along with Peter Rousseeuw and Anja Struyf. ^[4]

Recognition

Hubert became an Elected Member of the International Statistical Institute in 2013. ^{[2] [5]}
