Iterative Ellipsoidal Trimming.

Abstract

The iterative ellipsoidal trimming algorithm is introduced as both a clustering method and an estimator of location and shape. Its power as a data analytic tool is investigated and the asymptotic distribution of its stationary point is derived. In addition, several scale estimators are proposed and studied. (Author)
