Robust estimation of multivariate scatter in non-affine equivariant scenarios

We consider the problem of robust estimation of the scatter matrix of an elliptical distribution when observed data are corrupted in a cell-wise manner. The first half of the thesis develops a framework for dealing with data subjected to independent cell-wise contamination. Each data cell (as oppose...
