Abstract
In this paper, we introduce weighted estimators of the location and dispersion of a multivariate data set with weights based on the ranks of the Mahalanobis distances. We discuss some properties of the estimators like the breakdown point, influence function and asymptotic variance. The outlier detection capacities of different weight functions are compared. A simulation study is given to investigate the finite-sample behavior of the estimators.
