Examples

data(radarImage)
plot(Y.coord ~ X.coord, data = radarImage)

## The 8 "clear" outliers (see also below)
ii8 <- c(1548:1549, 1553:1554, 1565:1566, 1570:1571)
outF <- 1+(seq_len(nrow(radarImage)) %in% ii8)
pairs(radarImage[, 3:5], main = "radarImage (n = 1573)",
      col = outF, pch=outF)

## Finding outliers -----------------------------------------

set.seed(1)
system.time(cc.ri <- covMcd(radarImage))# ~ 0.1 sec
## check for covMcd() consistency:
iiO <- as.integer(
