Hi all,

I am performing a Principal Component Analysis and I would like to use robust computation of the covariance matrix to avoid the outliers affect my results.
I've been reading a little bit about it and it seems that there are many approaches to compute robust covariance estimators.
I didn't find any code for that, only a a Python library which requires the input data matrix to be Gaussian distributed, which is not my case:
http://scikit-learn.org/stable/auto_examples/covariance/plot _robust_vs_empirical_covariance.html

Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help,
nata
