The L <Subscript>1</Subscript>-median is a robust estimator of multivariate location with good statistical properties. Several algorithms for computing the L <Subscript>1</Subscript>-median are available. Problem specific algorithms can be used, but also general optimization routines. The aim is to compare different algorithms with respect...</subscript></subscript>

A method for principal component analysis is proposed that is sparse and robust at the same time. The sparsity delivers principal components that have loadings on a small number of variables, making them easier to interpret. The robustness makes the analysis resistant to outlying observations....
