    The classical relationship between the spectral decomposition of a covariance matrix and the estimation of its principal components is utilized in obtaining robust covariance matrix estimates from robust estimates of the principal components, based on \(L_ 1\) formulations. The performance of these estimates is studied using some problematical data sets discussed in the literature.
