Abstract

In the past two decades, many statistical depth functions seemed as powerful exploratory and inferential tools for multivariate data analysis have been presented. In this paper, a new depth function family that meets four properties mentioned in Zuo and Serfling (2000) is proposed. Then a classification rule based on the depth function family is proposed. The classification parameter b could be modified according to the type-I error α, and the estimator of b has the consistency and achieves the convergence rate n1/2. With the help of the proper selection for depth family parameter c, the approach for discriminant
analysis could minimize the type-II error β. A simulation study and a real data example compare the performance of the different discriminant methods.

Key words

Depth / discriminant analysis / location parameter / MVE / scatter matrix.
