Projection-Pursuit Approach to Robust Dispersion Matrices and Principal Components: Primary Theory and Monte Carlo
稳健离散度矩阵与主成分的投影寻踪方法:基本理论与蒙特卡洛研究
This article proposes and discusses a type of new robust estimators for covariance/correlation matrices and principal components via projection-pursuit techniques. The most attractive advantage of the new procedures is that they are of both rotational equivariance and high breakdown point. Besides, they are qualitatively robust and consistent at elliptic underlying distributions. The Monte Carlo study shows that the best of the new estimators compare favorably with other…
