Abstract
Abstract Sample mean and standard deviation are the classical estimators of the location and scale parameters of a statistical distribution. They are, however, unreliable in the presence of outliers. Robust alternatives have been proposed, of which the median and the median absolute deviation are best known. Several robust estimators of location and scale are reviewed and their properties discussed. The multivariate case is also discussed.
