In this paper, we show that the halfspace depth random variable for samples from a univariate distribution with a notion of center is distributed as a uniform distribution on the interval [0,1/2]. The simplicial depth random variable has a…
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…
Data depth functions are a generalization of one-dimensional order statistics and medians to real spaces of dimension greater than one; in particular, a data depth function quantifies the centrality of a point with respect to a data set or…
Identification of the center of a data cloud is one of the basic problems in statistics. One popular choice for such a center is the median, and several versions of median in finite dimensional spaces have been studied in the literature. In…
This article presents a theoretical study of uncertainty functionals on general measurable spaces. These functionals are fundamental in experimental design and global sensitivity analysis, where they are used to quantify variability and…
For multivariate data, Tukey's half-space depth is one of the most popular depth functions available in the literature. It is conceptually simple and satisfies several desirable properties of depth functions. The Tukey median, the…
For a function defined on a convex set in a Euclidean space, midpoint convexity is the property requiring that the value of the function at the midpoint of any line segment is not greater than the average of its values at the endpoints of…
Classically, Jensen's Inequality asserts that if $X$ is a compact convex set, and $f:K\to \mathbb{R}$ is a convex function, then for any probability measure $\mu$ on $K$, that $f(\text{bar}(\mu))\le \int f\;d\mu$, where $\text{bar}(\mu)$ is…
The halfspace depth is a prominent tool of nonparametric multivariate analysis. The upper level sets of the depth, termed the trimmed regions of a measure, serve as a natural generalization of the quantiles and inter-quantile regions to…
Given a function $f$ defined on a nonempty and convex subset of the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, we prove that if $f$ is bounded from below and it satisfies a convexity-type functional inequality with infinite convex combinations, then…
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,…
Gr\"unbaum's inequality guarantees that the centroid of a convex body has halfspace depth at least $1/e$: every halfspace containing the centroid captures at least a $1/e$ fraction of the body's volume. For mixed-integer convex sets…
\We introduce the horospherical depth, an intrinsic notion of statistical depth on Hadamard manifolds, and define the Busemann median as the set of its maximizers. The construction exploits the fact that the linear functionals appearing in…
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…
The halfspace depth of a $d$-dimensional point $x$ with respect to a finite (or probability) Borel measure $\mu$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ is defined as the infimum of the $\mu$-masses of all closed halfspaces containing $x$. A natural question is…
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…
Let $(M,d)$ be a separable and complete geodesic space with curvature lower bounded, by $\kappa\in \mathbb R$, in the sense of Alexandrov. Let $\mu$ be a Borel probability measure on $M$, such that $\mu\in\mathcal P_2(M)$, and that has at…
We study the so-called John-Nirenberg space that is a generalization of functions of bounded mean oscillation in the setting of metric measure spaces with a doubling measure. Our main results are local and global John-Nirenberg…
We construct compactifications for median spaces with compact intervals, generalising Roller boundaries of ${\rm CAT}(0)$ cube complexes. Examples of median spaces with compact intervals include all finite rank median spaces and all proper…
We discuss the dyadic John-Nirenberg space that is a generalization of functions of bounded mean oscillation. A John-Nirenberg inequality, which gives a weak type estimate for the oscillation of a function, is discussed in the setting of…
