Existing methods, such as those designed for Byzantine failures, typically assume that contamination is limited to a small subset of machines experiencing complete failure. In contrast, we address distributed partial contamination, where all machines may handle datasets containing some corrupted observations. By generalizing Huber\u2019s \u03f5-contamination model to distributed settings, we propose a robust framework in which each machine\u2019s dataset may be contaminated by a proportion \u03f5 of observations from an arbitrary distribution. In a linear model setting, we develop a communication-efficient M-estimator that achieves the optimal convergence rate of centralized data. For robust inference, we introduce a distributed multiplier bootstrap method that requires no additional communication post-estimation while maintaining efficiency. To handle high contamination proportions, we present a debiasing procedure to mitigate bias. Extensive simulations demonstrate the robustness and scalability of our methods across diverse contamination scenarios.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1214\/26-ejs2492","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,5]],"date-time":"2026-02-05T11:59:43Z","timestamp":1770292783000},"page":"261-323","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Distributed robust estimation and inference with contaminated data"],"prefix":"10.1214","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Peiliang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, 15260, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wen-Xin","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information and Decision Sciences, University of Illinois Chicago, Chicago, IL, 60607, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhao","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Statistics, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, 15260, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"108","reference":[{"key":"17","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"DEVROYE, L.<\/small>, LERASLE, M.<\/small>, LUGOSI, G.<\/small> and OLIVEIRA, R.
