A resistant estimator of multivariate location and dispersion
This paper presents a simple resistant estimator of multivariate location and dispersion. The DD plot is a plot of Mahalanobis distances from the classical estimator versus the distances from a resistant estimator and can be used to detect outliers and as a diagnostic for multivariate normality. The new estimator can be used in the DD plot, is easy to compute and provides insights about several...
متن کاملAn L1-type estimator of multivariate location and shape
The proposed estimator is a location and shape estimator which generalizes the L1-idea to a multivariate context. Consider a sample x1, . . . , xn of p-variate observations. Then the estimator is defined as the solution (μ̂, V̂ ) that yields the minimum of the sum of the distances di(μ, V ) = √ (xi − μ)′V −1(xi − μ), minimized under the constraint that V has determinant 1. The constraint det(V ) ...
متن کاملMultivariate Spatial U-Quantiles: a Bahadur-Kiefer Representation, a Theil-Sen Estimator for Multiple Regression, and a Robust Dispersion Estimator
A leading multivariate extension of the univariate quantiles is the so-called “spatial” or “geometric” notion, for which sample versions are highly robust and conveniently satisfy a Bahadur-Kiefer representation. Another extension of univariate quantiles has been to univariate U-quantiles, on the basis of which, for example, the well-known Hodges-Lehmann location estimator has a natural formula...
متن کاملA Multivariate Hill Estimator
We propose a simple and semi-parametric estimator for the tail index of a regular varying elliptical random vector. Since, for univariate random variables, our estimator boils down to the Hill estimator and it inherits the simplicity and asymptotic properties, we name it after Bruce M. Hill. The estimator is based on the distance between an elliptical probability contour and the outer – or exce...
متن کاملStrong consistency and robustness of the Forward Search estimator of multivariate location and scatter
The Forward Search is a powerful general method for detecting anomalies in structured data, whose diagnostic power has been shown in many statistical contexts. However, despite the wealth of empirical evidence in favour of the method, only few theoretical properties have been established regarding the resulting estimators. We show that the Forward Search estimators are strongly consistent at th...
