Abstract

Enclosing depth is a recently introduced depth measure which gives a lower bound to many depth measures studied in the literature. So far, enclosing depth has only been studied from a combinatorial perspective. In this work, we give the first algorithms to compute the enclosing depth of a query point with respect to a data point set in any dimension. In the plane we are able to optimize the algorithm to get a runtime of O(n log n). In constant dimension, our algorithms still run in polynomial time.
