Robust Mahalanobis Distance

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.
