Resumen	Robust Mahalanobis Distance flags multivariate outliers by measuring how far each observation lies from the centre of the data using a robust covariance estimate. It builds on the robust-distance framework of Rousseeuw and Van Zomeren (1990) and the multivariate outlier-detection approach of Filzmoser, Garrett and Reimann (2005), replacing the classical mean and covariance with the Minimum Covariance Determinant (MCD) estimate so that the outliers themselves do not distort the distance.	Median Absolute Deviation estimation is a robust measure of statistical dispersion that replaces the standard deviation when outliers are present. Rooted in the influence-curve framework formalised by Hampel (1974), it summarises the spread of a continuous variable using medians instead of means, so a single extreme value cannot distort the result.
