contents It is well-known that real data often contain outliers. The term outlier typically refers to a case, that is, a row of the $n \times d$ data matrix. In recent times a different type has come into focus, the cellwise outliers. These are suspicious cells (entries) that can occur anywhere in the data matrix. Even a relatively small proportion of outlying cells can contaminate over half the rows, which is a problem for rowwise robust methods. In this article we discuss the challenges posed by cellwise outliers, and some methods developed so far to deal with them. We obtain new results on cellwise breakdown values for location, covariance and regression. We also propose a cellwise robust method for correspondence analysis, with real data illustrations. The paper concludes by formulating some points for debate.
