Halfspace depth for general measures: the ray basis theorem and its consequences
@article{Laketa2021HalfspaceDF, title={Halfspace depth for general measures: the ray basis theorem and its consequences}, author={Petra Laketa and Stanislav Nagy}, journal={Statistical Papers}, year={2021} }
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 higher-dimensional spaces. The smallest non-empty trimmed region, coined the halfspace median of a measure, generalizes the median. We focus on the (inverse) ray basis theorem for the halfspace depth, a crucial theoretical result that characterizes the halfspace…

Abstract. Tukey (1975) introduced the notion of halfspace depth in a data analytic context, as a multivariate analog of rank relative to a finite data set. Here we focus on the depth function of an…

Two novel algorithms to compute a Tukey κ-trimmed region are constructed, a naïve one and a more sophisticated one that is much faster than known algorithms, and a strict bound on the number of facets of aTukey region is derived.

Depth is a concept that measures the `centrality' of a point in a given data cloud or in a given probability distribution. Every depth defines a family of so-called trimmed regions. For statistical…
