--- This research addresses the problem of lack of robustness, by replacing the covariance matrix obtained with the classical method for the covariance matrix obtained with the robust MCD method (Todorov and Filzmoser, 2009). The robust method MCD: Minimun Covariance Determinant, involves making estimates for the mean vector and covariance matrix from the selection of a subsample obtained from the resampling of the data set under study, whose main characteristic is that it has the covariance matrix with the minimum determinant. Many times, the statistical analysis in the presence of outliers, by standard methods, can be misleading because of the sensitivity of these methods, which is why the objective of this paper is to present the methodology of the MCD estimators in order to achieve the “robustified covariance matrix“ which will be used to perform Principal Component Analysis on data sets with the presence of outliers. We illustrate the methodology of the theory and application, for two sets of data, research results in the Botany (Quinteros, 2010 and Gomez, et. Al., 2008), we analyze the behavior of the Principal Components with the MCD method and we compare it to the classic methodology. It is determined that the principal components obtained by the MCD method allows to find better indicators for data sets with outliers. -- Keywords: Minimum Covariance Determinant, MCD, Principal Components, Robust Estimation, Scatter Matrix.
