Minimum Volume Ellipsoid Estimation. MVE for JAVA is an advanced utility designed for multivariate estimation. Usage of the program is free, but citation is appreciated.

This method is used for robust outlier detection in multivariate space. The algorithm takes subsamples of the dataset and calculates the Volume of the Ellipsoid representing that subsample. Outliers increase the volume dramatically, so the Minimum Volume Ellipsoid (MVE) will correspond with the actual core of the dataset. After this, data points exceeding the cut-off value for the Mahalanobis distance will be designated outliers.
