Depth notions in location have fascinated tremendous attention in the literature. In fact data depth and its applications remain one of the most active research topics in statistics in the last two decades. Most favored notions of depth in…
The maximum depth estimator (aka depth median) ($\bs{\beta}^*_{RD}$) induced from regression depth (RD) of Rousseeuw and Hubert (1999) (RH99) is one of the most prevailing estimators in regression. It possesses outstanding robustness…
Regression depth, introduced by Rousseeuw and Hubert in 1999, is a notion that measures how good of a regression hyperplane a given query hyperplane is with respect to a set of data points. Under projective duality, this can be interpreted…
Notion of median in one dimension is a foundational element in nonparametric statistics. It has been extended to multi-dimensional cases both in location and in regression via notions of data depth. Regression depth (RD) and projection…
The concept of statistical depth extends the notions of the median and quantiles to other statistical models. These procedures aim to formalize the idea of identifying deeply embedded fits to a model that are less influenced by…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Is there a natural way to order data in dimension greater than one? The approach based on the notion of data depth, often associated with John Tukey, is among the most popular. Tukey's depth has found applications in robust statistics,…
Starting with Tukey's pioneering work in the 1970's, the notion of depth in statistics has been widely extended especially in the last decade. These extensions include high dimensional data, functional data, and manifold-valued data. In…
The angular halfspace depth (ahD) is a natural modification of the celebrated halfspace (or Tukey) depth to the setup of directional data. It allows us to define elements of nonparametric inference, such as the median, the inter-quantile…
Robust estimation under Huber's $\epsilon$-contamination model has become an important topic in statistics and theoretical computer science. Statistically optimal procedures such as Tukey's median and other estimators based on depth…
Constructing a differentially private (DP) estimator requires deriving the maximum influence of an observation, which can be difficult in the absence of exogenous bounds on the input data or the estimator, especially in high 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,…
Mean estimation is a fundamental task in statistics and a focus within differentially private statistical estimation. While univariate methods based on the Gaussian mechanism are widely used in practice, more advanced techniques such as the…
As the most fundamental problem in statistics, robust location estimation has many prominent solutions, such as the trimmed mean, Winsorized mean, Hodges Lehmann estimator, Huber M estimator, and median of means. Recent studies suggest that…
Tukey's halfspace depth can be seen as a stochastic program and as such it is not guarded against optimizer's curse, so that a limited training sample may easily result in a poor out-of-sample performance. We propose a generalized halfspace…
We develop a Bayesian highest-density interval (HDI) for use in within-subject designs. This credible interval is based on a standard noninformative prior and a modified posterior distribution that conditions on both the data and point…
Statistical depths provide a fundamental generalization of quantiles and medians to data in higher dimensions. This paper proposes a new type of globally defined statistical depth, based upon control theory and eikonal equations, which…
