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…

Half-space depth (also called Tukey depth or location depth) is one of the most commonly studied data depth measures because it possesses many desirable properties for data depth functions. The data depth contours bound regions of…

We present a new algorithm for Tukey (halfspace) depth level sets and its implementation. Given $d$-dimensional data set for any $d\geq 2$, the algorithm is based on representation of level sets as intersections of balls in $R^d$, and can…
Determining the representativeness of a point within a data cloud has recently become a desirable task in multivariate analysis. The concept of statistical depth function, which reflects centrality of an arbitrary point, appears to be…
Following the seminal idea of Tukey, data depth is a function that measures how close an arbitrary point of the space is located to an implicitly defined center of a data cloud. Having undergone theoretical and computational developments,…
Tukey depth, aka halfspace depth, has attracted much interest in data analysis, because it is a natural way of measuring the notion of depth relative to a cloud of points or, more generally, to a probability measure. Given an i.i.d. sample,…
We propose halfspace depth concepts for scatter, concentration and shape matrices. For scatter matrices, our concept is similar to those from Chen, Gao and Ren (2017) and Zhang (2002). Rather than focusing, as in these earlier works, on…
