The computation of the Tukey depth, also called halfspace depth, is very demanding, even in low dimensional spaces, because it requires the consideration of all possible one-dimensional projections. In this paper we propose a random depth…
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,…

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…
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…
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…

Given a probability measure $\mu $ on ${\mathbb R}^n$, Tukey's half-space depth is defined for any $x\in {\mathbb R}^n$ by $\varphi_{\mu }(x)=\inf\{\mu (H):H\in {\cal H}(x)\}$, where ${\cal H}(x)$ is the set of all half-spaces $H$ of…
