Elliptical and Spherical Depth

Description

Computation of spherical or elliptical depth.

Usage

 depth(pts, x, Cx = var(x))

Arguments

pts

A kxd matrix containing the k points that one wants to compute the depth. Each row is a point.

x

A nxd matrix containing the reference data. Each row is an observation.

Cx

A dxd scatter matrix for the data x where the default is var(x). When Cx = I(d), it returns the sphercial depth.

Value

depth returns a k-vector where each entry is the elliptical depth of a point in pts.

Note

depth is used in regcr.
