Data depth is a concept in multivariate statistics that measures the centrality of a point in a given data cloud in $\IR^d$. If the depth of a point can be represented as the minimum of the depths with respect to all one-dimensional…
Zuo (2019) (Z19) addressed the computation of the projection regression depth (PRD) and its induced median (the maximum depth estimator). Z19 achieved the exact computation of PRD via a modified version of regular univariate sample median,…
Notions of depth in regression have been introduced and studied in the literature. The most famous example is Regression Depth (RD), which is a direct extension of location depth to regression. The projection regression depth (PRD) is the…
During the past two decades there has been a lot of interest in developing statistical depth notions that generalize the univariate concept of ranking to multivariate data. The notion of depth has also been extended to regression models and…
The conventional definition of a depth function is vector-based. In this paper, a novel projection depth (PD) technique directly based on tensors, such as matrices, is instead proposed. Tensor projection depth (TPD) is still an ideal depth…
As estimators of location parameters, univariate trimmed means are well known for their robustness and efficiency. They can serve as robust alternatives to the sample mean while possessing high efficiencies at normal as well as heavy-tailed…
Robust estimation of location is a fundamental problem in statistics, particularly in scenarios where data contamination by outliers or model misspecification is a concern. In univariate settings, methods such as the sample median and…
Depth notions in regression have been systematically proposed and examined in Zuo (2018). One of the prominent advantages of notion of depth is that it can be directly utilized to introduce median-type deepest estimating functionals (or…
We introduce a novel projection depth for data lying in a general Hilbert space, called the regularized projection depth, with a focus on functional data. By regularizing projection directions, the proposed depth does not suffer from the…

Tukey depth function is one of the most famous multivariate tools serving robust purposes. It is also very well known for its computability problems in dimensions $p \ge 3$. In this paper, we address this computing issue by presenting two…
We propose and analyze the moving median absolute deviation (MMAD) as a robust depth construction based on the median absolute distance functional with particular emphasis on its local geometry and probabilistic structure. In the univariate…
Data depth functions are a generalization of one-dimensional order statistics and medians to real spaces of dimension greater than one; in particular, a data depth function quantifies the centrality of a point with respect to a data set or…
The concept of depth represents methods to measure how deep an arbitrary point is positioned in a dataset and can be seen as the opposite of outlyingness. It has proved very useful and a wide range of methods have been developed based on…
The Tukey (or halfspace) depth extends nonparametric methods toward multivariate data. The multivariate analogues of the quantiles are the central regions of the Tukey depth, defined as sets of points in the $d$-dimensional space whose…
Statistical analysis of functional data is challenging due to their complex patterns, for which functional depth provides an effective means of reflecting their ordering structure. In this work, we investigate practical aspects of the…

Statistical depth functions order the elements of a space with respect to their centrality in a probability distribution or dataset. Since many depth functions are maximized in the real line by the median, they provide a natural approach to…
