depth.L2: Calculate L2-Depth

Description

Calculates the L2-depth of points w.r.t. a multivariate data set.

Usage

depth.L2(x, data, mah.estimate = "moment", mah.parMcd = 0.75)

Value

Numerical vector of depths, one for each row in x; or one depth value if x is a numerical vector.

Arguments

x

Matrix of objects (numerical vector as one object) whose depth is to be calculated; each row contains a \(d\)-variate point. Should have the same dimension as data.

data

Matrix of data where each row contains a \(d\)-variate point, w.r.t. which the depth is to be calculated.

mah.estimate

is a character string specifying which estimates to use when calculating sample covariance matrix; can be "none", "moment" or "MCD", determining whether traditional moment or Minimum Covariance Determinant (MCD) (see covMcd) estimates for mean and covariance are used. By default "moment" is used. With "none" the non-affine invariant version of the L2-depth is calculated

mah.parMcd

is the value of the argument alpha for the function covMcd; is used when mah.estimate = "MCD".

Details

Calculates L2-depth (Mosler, 2013). L2-depth is based on the oultyingness distance calculated as the average L2-distance from (a row of) x to each point in data.
