depth.qhpeeling: Calculate Convex Hull Peeling Depth

Description

Calculates the convex hull peeling depth of points w.r.t. a multivariate data set.

Usage

depth.qhpeeling(x, data)

Value

Numerical vector of depths, one for each row in x; or one depth value if x is a numerical vector. Each depth value equals the number of the convex hulls to be peeled from data so that (the corresponding row of) x is not contained in the convex hull of the rest of the data; the depths are normalized by the number of points in data.

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.

Details

Calculates the convex hull peeling depth (Eddy, 1982; see also Cascos, 2009).
