RDELA--a Delaunay-triangulation-based, location and covariance estimator with high breakdown point
2013
We propose an approach that utilizes the Delaunay triangulation to identify a robust/outlier-free subsample. Given that the data structure of the non-outlying points is convex (e.g. of elliptical shape), this subsample can then be used to give a robust estimation of location and scatter (by applying the classical mean and covariance). The estimators derived from our approach are shown to have a high breakdown point. In addition, we provide a diagnostic plot to expand the initial subset in a data-driven way, further increasing the estimators' efficiency.
