Data depth is a powerful nonparametric tool originally proposed to rank multivariate data from center outward. In this context, one of the most archetypical depth notions is Tukey's halfspace depth. In the last few decades notions of depth…

Functional data analysis has been a growing field of study in recent decades, and one fundamental task in functional data analysis is estimating the sample location. A notion called statistical depth has been extended from multivariate data…

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…

John W. Tukey (1975) defined statistical data depth as a function that determines centrality of an arbitrary point with respect to a data cloud or to a probability measure. During the last decades, this seminal idea of data depth evolved…

In 1975 John Tukey proposed a multivariate median which is the 'deepest' point in a given data cloud in R^d. Later, in measuring the depth of an arbitrary point z with respect to the data, David Donoho and Miriam Gasko considered…

Two frameworks for multivariate functional depth based on multivariate depths are introduced in this paper. The first framework is multivariate functional integrated depth, and the second framework involves multivariate functional extremal…

Depth is a concept that measures the `centrality' of a point in a given data cloud or in a given probability distribution. Every depth defines a family of so-called trimmed regions. For statistical applications it is desirable that with…

In the context of multivariate functional data with individual phase variation, we develop a robust depth-based approach to estimate the main pattern function when cross-component time warping is also present. In particular, we consider the…

Using the fact that some depth functions characterize certain family of distribution functions, and under some mild conditions, distribution of the depth is continuous, we have constructed several new multivariate goodness of fit tests…

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…

With the ubiquity of sensors in the IoT era, statistical observations are becoming increasingly available in the form of massive (multivariate) time-series. Formulated as unsupervised anomaly detection tasks, an abundance of applications…

The statistical rank tests play important roles in univariate non-parametric data analysis. If one attempts to generalize the rank tests to a multivariate case, the problem of defining a multivariate order will occur. It is not clear how to…

Directional data arise in many applications where observations are naturally represented as unit vectors or as observations on the surface of a unit hypersphere. In this context, statistical depth functions provide a center--outward…

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…

We propose a novel measure of statistical depth, the metric spatial depth, for data residing in an arbitrary metric space. The measure assigns high (low) values for points located near (far away from) the bulk of the data distribution,…

We propose a new notion called `extremal depth' (ED) for functional data, discuss its properties, and compare its performance with existing concepts. The proposed notion is based on a measure of extreme `outlyingness'. ED has several…

The Maximum Depth was the first attempt to use data depths instead of multivariate raw data to construct a classification rule. Recently, the DD-classifier has solved several serious limitations of the Maximum Depth classifier but some…

The notion of probability density for a random function is not as straightforward as in finite-dimensional cases. While a probability density function generally does not exist for functional data, we show that it is possible to develop the…
