We construct classifiers for multivariate and functional data. Our approach is based on a kind of distance between data points and classes. The distance measure needs to be robust to outliers and invariant to linear transformations of the data. For this purpose we can use the bagdistance which is based on halfspace depth. It satisfies most of the properties of a norm but is able to reflect asymmetry when the class is skewed. Alternatively we can compute a measure of outlyingness based on the…

The present paper is an overview of the research in the field of depth-based classification for multivariate data, providing a short summary of current state of knowledge followed by detailed discussion of four main directions in the depth- based classification, namely semiparametricdepth-based classifiers, maximal depth classifier, (maximal depth) classifiers which use local depth functions and finally advanced depth-Based classifiers.
