We introduce a class of depth-based classification procedures that are of a nearest-neighbor nature. Depth, after symmetrization, indeed provides the center-outward ordering that is necessary and sufficient to define nearest neighbors. Like…

We develop a novel exploratory tool for non-Euclidean object data based on data depth, extending the celebrated Tukey's depth for Euclidean data. The proposed metric halfspace depth, applicable to data objects in a general metric space,…

Notions of depth in regression have been introduced and studied in the literature. Regression depth (RD) of Rousseeuw and Hubert (1999), the most famous one, is a direct extension of Tukey location depth (Tukey (1975)) to regression. Like…

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…

Let $[n]$ (resp. $V$) be an $n$-element set (resp. $n$-dimensional vector space over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$), and $\binom{[n]}{k}$ (resp. $\genfrac{[}{]}{0pt}{}{V}{k}$) denote the set of all $k$-subsets of $[n]$ (resp.…

Let F be a family of positive homothets (or translates) of a given convex body K in R^n. We investigate two approaches to measuring the complexity of F. First, we find an upper bound on the transversal number $\tau(F)$ of F in terms of $n$…

Pick $n$ independent and uniform random points $U_1,\ldots,U_n$ in a compact convex set $K$ of $\mathbb{R}^d$ with volume 1, and let $P^{(d)}_K(n)$ be the probability that these points are in convex position. The Sylvester conjecture in…

Let $K\subset\mathbb R^d$ be a compact subset equipped with a $\delta$-Ahlfors regular measure $\mu$. For any $\tau>1/d$ and any ``inhomogeneous'' vector $\boldsymbol{\theta}\in\mathbb R^d$, let $W_d(\psi_\tau,\boldsymbol{\theta})$ denote…

The halfspace depth is a well studied tool of nonparametric statistics in multivariate spaces, naturally inducing a multivariate generalisation of quantiles. The halfspace depth of a point with respect to a measure is defined as the infimum…

A family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of a set $X$ is $t$-intersecting if $\vert A_i \cap A_j \vert \geq t$ for every $A_i, \; A_j \in \mathcal{F}$. We study intersecting families in the Hamming geometry. Given $X=\mathbb{F}_q^3$ a vector space…

A family $\mathcal F\subset {[n]\choose k}$ is $U(s,q)$ of for any $F_1,\ldots, F_s\in \mathcal F$ we have $|F_1\cup\ldots\cup F_s|\le q$. This notion generalizes the property of a family to be $t$-intersecting and to have matching number…

The ball hypergraph of a graph $G$ is the family of balls of all possible centers and radii in $G$. It has Helly number at most $k$ if every subfamily of $k$-wise intersecting balls has a nonempty common intersection. A graph is $k$-Helly…

Let $K$ be a field, $A$ a standard graded $K$-algebra and $M$ a finitely generated graded $A$-module. Inspired by our previous works, we study the Hilbert depth of $h_M$, that is $$\operatorname{hdepth}(h_M)=\max\{d\;:\; \sum\limits_{j\leq…

The concept of illumination bodies studied in convex geometry is used to amend the halfspace depth for multivariate data. The proposed notion of illumination enables finer resolution of the sample points, naturally breaks ties in the…

Let $h:\mathbb Z \to \mathbb Z_{\geq 0}$ be a nonzero function with $h(k)=0$ for $k\ll 0$. We define the Hilbert depth of $h$ by $\operatorname{hdepth}(h)=\max\{d\;:\; \sum_{j\leq k} (-1)^{k-j}\binom{d-j}{k-j}h(j)\geq 0\text{ for all }k\leq…

We call a family of sets intersecting, if any two sets in the family intersect. In this paper we investigate intersecting families $\mathcal{F}$ of $k$-element subsets of $[n]:=\{1,\ldots, n\},$ such that every element of $[n]$ lies in the…

We define a $C(k)$ to be a family of $k$ sets $F_1,\dots,F_k$ such that $\textrm{conv}(F_i\cup F_{i+1})\cap \textrm{conv}(F_j\cup F_{j+1})=\emptyset$ when $\{i,i+1\}\cap \{j,j+1\}=\emptyset$ (indices are taken modulo $k$). We show that if…

The contour of a family of filters along a filter is a set-theoretic lower limit. Topologicity and regularity of convergences can be characterized with the aid of the contour operation. Contour inversion is studied, in particular, for…

For an integer $d \geq 2$, a family $\mathcal{F}$ of sets is $\textit{$d$-wise intersecting}$ if for any distinct sets $A_1,A_2,\dots,A_d \in \mathcal{F}$, $A_1 \cap A_2 \cap \dots \cap A_d \neq \emptyset$, and $\textit{non-trivial}$ if…

We prove discrete Helly-type theorems for pseudohalfplanes, which extend recent results of Jensen, Joshi and Ray about halfplanes. Among others we show that given a family of pseudohalfplanes $\cal H$ and a set of points $P$, if every…
