Abstract: Given several data series of equal length, the procedure ROBPC computes a robust correlation matrix for principal-component analysis, omitting high-leverage observations that can distort the usual product-moment correlation matrix. To find such observations, ROBPC estimates the median center of the data, then omits points whose euclidean distance from the median center exceed a cutoff value based on the chi-square distribution.
