Rejection of Multivariate Outliers.
Abstract
An extension of Ferguson's univariate normal results for rejection of outliers is made to the multivariate case with mean slippage. The formulation is more general than that in Schwager and Margolin and the approach is also different. The main result can be viewed as a robustness property of Mardia's locally optimum multivariate normal kurtosis test to detect outliers against nonnormal multivariate distributions.
