A Comparison Of Depth Functions In Maximal Depth Classification Rules, Olusola Samuel Makinde, Adeyinka Damilare Adewumi
A Comparison Of Depth Functions In Maximal Depth Classification Rules, Olusola Samuel Makinde, Adeyinka Damilare Adewumi
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Data depth has been described as alternative to some parametric approaches in analyzing many multivariate data. Many depth functions have emerged over two decades and studied in literature. In this study, a nonparametric approach to classification based on notions of different data depth functions is considered and some properties of these methods are studied. The performance of different depth functions in maximal depth classifiers is investigated using simulation and real data with application to agricultural industry.
Multivariate Rank Outlyingness And Correlation Effects, Olusola Samuel Makinde
Multivariate Rank Outlyingness And Correlation Effects, Olusola Samuel Makinde
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The effect of correlation on multivariate rank outlyingness, a result of deviation of multivariate rank functions from property of spherical symmetry, is examined. Possible affine invariant versions of this multivariate rank are surveyed, and outlyingness of affine invariant and non-invariant spatial rank functions under general affine transformation are compared.
