Abstract
A method for reduced-outlier satellite positioning includes receiving a set of satellite positioning observations at a receiver; generating a first receiver position estimate; generating a set of posterior observation residual values from the set of satellite positioning observations and the first receiver position estimate; based on the set of posterior observation residual values, identifying a subset of the satellite positioning observations as statistical outliers; and after mitigating an effect of the statistical outliers, generating a second receiver position estimate having higher accuracy than the first receiver position estimate.
