Available pointwise or integrated intrinsic data depth functions for samples of HPD matrices are: (i)
geodesic distance depth, (ii) intrinsic zonoid depth and (iii) intrinsic spatial depth.
The various data depth measures and their theoretical properties are described in
COvS17pdSpecEst. If y
is a \((d,d)\)-dimensional HPD matrix, X
should be a \((d,d,S)\)-dimensional array
corresponding to a length S
sequence of \((d,d)\)-dimensional HPD matrices and the pointwise
data depth values are computed. If y
is a sequence of \((d,d)\)-dimensional HPD matrices of length n
(i.e., \((d,d,n)\)-dimensional array), X
should be a \((d,d,n,S)\)-dimensional array of replicated sequences of HPD matrices
and the integrated data depth values according to COvS17pdSpecEst are computed. If is.null(y)
, the data depth
of each individual object (i.e., a HPD matrix or a sequence of HPD matrices) in X
is computed with
respect to the data cloud X
.
The function computes the intrinsic data depth values based on the metric space of HPD matrices equipped with
one of the following metrics: (i) Riemannian metric (default) as detailed in e.g., B09pdSpecEst[Chapter 6] or
PFA05pdSpecEst, (ii) log-Euclidean metric, the Euclidean inner product between matrix logarithms,
(iii) Cholesky metric, the Euclidean inner product between Cholesky decompositions, (iv) Euclidean metric and
(v) root-Euclidean metric. The default choice (Riemannian) has several properties not shared by the
other metrics, see COvS17pdSpecEst for more details.
