Monge–Kantorovich depth, quantiles, ranks and signs
Monge–Kantorovich 深度、分位数、秩与符号
We propose new concepts of statistical depth, multivariate quantiles, vector quantiles and ranks, ranks and signs, based on canonical transportation maps between a distribution of interest on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ and a reference distribution on the $d$-dimensional unit ball. The new depth concept, called Monge–Kantorovich depth, specializes to halfspace depth for $d=1$ and in the case of spherical distributions, but for more general distributions, differs from the latter in the…
