ð xdF 1 , t ( x ) ¼
T a v e ( F 1 , t ) ¼

Hence

since T a v e ( F ) ¼ m (as the expected value of the symmetric c.d.f F is equal to the sym-
metry center m of F ). The IF for the median T med ( ) is well-known to be

If the c.d.f. F is the c.d.f. of the standard normal distribution F (i.e., 0), then the
above IF expressions can be written as

These are depicted in Figure 2.3. The median has bounded IF for all possible values
of the contamination t , where as large outlier t can have a large effect on the mean.

IF of the covariance matrix . Let T ( F ) ¼C ( F ) be our statistical functional of
interest. The value of C ( F ) ¼ Ð zz H dF ( z ) at the 1 -point-mass distribution is
