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 introduce a class of dimension reduction estimators based on an ensemble of the minimum average variance estimates of functions that characterize the central subspace, such as the characteristic functions, the Box--Cox transformations…

We perform a deeper analysis of an axiomatic approach to the concept of intrinsic dimension of a dataset proposed by us in the IJCNN'07 paper (arXiv:cs/0703125). The main features of our approach are that a high intrinsic dimension of a…

Let $(\mathcal{X},\rho)$ be a metric space and $\lambda$ be a Borel measure on this space defined on the $\sigma$-algebra generated by open subsets of $\mathcal{X}$; this measure $\lambda$ defines volumes of Borel subsets of $\mathcal{X}$.…
