In their paper, Davies and Gather (1993) formalized the task of outlier identification, considering also certain performance criteria for outlier identifiers. One of those Criteria, the maximum asymptotic bias, is carried over here to multivariate outlier identifiers. We show how this term...

In this paper, we consider one-step outlier identification rules for multivariate data-generalizing the concept of so-called a - outlier identifiers_ as presented in Davies and Gather (1993) for the case of univariate samples. We investigate how the finite sample breakdown points of estimators...

In investigations on the behaviour of robust estimators, typically their consistency and their asymptotic normality are studied as a necessity. Their rates of convergence, however, are often given less weight. We show here that the rate of convergence of a multivariate robust estimator to its...
