In this paper, we propose a new componentwise estimator of a dispersion matrix, based on a highly robust estimator of scale. The key idea is the elimination of a location estimator in the dispersion estimation procedure. The robustness properties are studied by means of the influence function and th

We analyze the global robustness of location and dispersion estimates using the concept of relative explosion rate. The merits of several dispersion estimates are compared when the dispersion parameter itself is of main interest and also when they are auxiliary estimates needed to deΓΏne scale equiva

If substitutions in DNA sequences follow a Poisson process, the ratio of the variance in the number of substitutions to the mean number of substitutions (the index of dispersion) should equal 1. In this paper, the robustness of the commonly applied estimator of the index of dispersion in replacement
