Develop a robust Wilks' Lambda test for one-way high-dimensional MANOVA that withstands outlier contamination using weighted minimum regularized covariance determinant estimation.
Combined minimum regularized covariance determinant (MRCD) location and scatter estimation with a distance-based reweighting procedure and permutation calibration to derive p-values.
Evaluated empirical Type-I error control, power, and robustness via Monte Carlo simulations and sensitivity analysis on a breast-cancer gene-expression dataset with induced contamination.
Maintained empirical Type-I error rates near nominal levels under clean data, demonstrating aggregate power comparable to Cheng-GM, whereas Schott's test achieved higher power under weak signals.
Yielded substantially lower false-rejection rates than competing methods under contaminated null scenarios where outlying observations generated artificial group differences.
