Abstract
It is shown under appropriate conditions that Rousseeuw's minimum volume estimator and other $S$-estimators of multivariate location and dispersion parameters are consistent. Under certain differentiability conditions the estimates are asymptotically normally distributed with a norming factor of $n^{1/2}$.
