Abstract

In this letter, we revisit the recently proposed cell outlier-resistant method cellMCD (minimum covariance determinant) and derive a version of it called cellMCD+ that has better performance. We illustrate the performance gain of cellMCD+ via numerical simulations in the case of estimating low-rank structured covariance matrices.
