Minimum Covariance Determinant Estimator - a Fast Algorithm invented by Peter J.Rousseeuw and Katrien Van Dreissen "A Fast Algorithm for the Minimum covariance Determinant Estimator" Technometrics, August 1999, Vol.41, NO.3.

What are robust estimators? "An important property of an estimator is its robustness. An estimator is called robust if it is insensitive to measurements that deviate from the expected behaviour. There are 2 ways to treat such deviating measurements: one may either try to recognise them and then remove them from the data sample; or one may leave them in the sample, taking care that they do not influence the estimate unduly. In both cases robust estimators are needed...Robust procedures compensate for systematic errors as much as possible, and indicate any situation in which a danger of not being able to operate reliably is detected." R.Fruhwirth, M.Regler, R.K.Bock, H.Grote, D.Notz "Data Analysis Techniques for High-Energy Physics", 2nd edition

What does this algorithm do? It computes a highly robust estimator of multivariate location and scatter. Then, it takes those estimates to compute robust distances of all the data vectors. Those with large robust distances are considered outliers. Robust distances can then be plotted for better visualization of the data.

How does this algorithm do it? The MCD objective is to find h observations(out of n) whose classical covariance matrix has the lowest determinant. The MCD estimator of location is then the average of those h points and the MCD estimate of scatter is their covariance matrix. The minimum(and default) h = (n+nvariables+1)/2 so the algorithm is effective when less than (n+nvar+1)/2 variables are outliers. The algorithm also allows for exact fit situations - that is, when h or more observations lie on a hyperplane. Then the algorithm still yields the MCD location T and scatter matrix S, the latter being singular as it should be. From (T,S) the program then computes the equation of the hyperplane.

How can this algorithm be used? In any case, when contamination of data is suspected, that might influence the classical estimates. Also, robust estimation of location and scatter is a tool to robustify other multivariate techniques such as, for example, principal-component analysis and discriminant analysis.

Technical details of the algorithm:

  1. The default h = (n+nvariables+1)/2, but the user may choose any integer h with (n+nvariables+1)/2<=h<=n. The program then reports the MCD's breakdown value (n-h+1)/n. If you are sure that the dataset contains less than 25% contamination which is usually the case, a good compromise between breakdown value and efficiency is obtained by putting h=[.75*n].
  2. If h=n,the MCD location estimate is the average of the whole dataset, and the MCD scatter estimate is its covariance matrix. Report this and stop
  3. If nvariables=1 (univariate data), compute the MCD estimate by the exact algorithm of Rousseeuw and Leroy (1987, pp.171-172) in O(nlogn)time and stop
  4. From here on, h<n and nvariables>=2.
    1. If n is small:
      • repeat (say) 500 times:
        • construct an initial h-subset, starting from a random (nvar+1)-subset
        • carry out 2 C-steps (described in the comments of CStep function)
      • for the 10 results with lowest det(S):
        • carry out C-steps until convergence
      • report the solution (T, S) with the lowest det(S)
    2. If n is larger (say, n>600), then
      • construct up to 5 disjoint random subsets of size nsub (say, nsub=300)
      • inside each subset repeat 500/5 times:
        • construct an initial subset of size hsub=[nsub*h/n]
        • carry out 2 C-steps
        • keep the best 10 results (Tsub, Ssub)
      • pool the subsets, yielding the merged set (say, of size nmerged=1500)
      • in the merged set, repeat for each of the 50 solutions (Tsub, Ssub)
        • carry out 2 C-steps
        • keep the 10 best results
      • in the full dataset, repeat for those best results:
        • take several C-steps, using n and h
        • report the best final result (T, S)
  5. To obtain consistency when the data comes from a multivariate normal distribution, covariance matrix is multiplied by a correction factor
  6. Robust distances for all elements, using the final (T, S) are calculated Then the very final mean and covariance estimates are calculated only for values, whose robust distances are less than a cutoff value (0.975 quantile of chi2 distribution with nvariables degrees of freedom)
