projection_depth function

Random projection for multivariate data

Helper function to compute the random projection depth of multivariate point(s) with respect to a multivariate data.

projection_depth(dts, dt = dts, n_projections = 500L, seed = NULL)

Arguments

• dts: A matrix or data frame of size m observations by d dimension or vector of length d. Contains the observation(s) whose depth is to be computed.
• dt: A matrix or dataframe of size n observations by d dimension. Equals to dts by default.
• n_projections: The number of directions for random projections. By default, 500 random directions for projection are generated from a scaled uniform distribution between -1 and 1.
• seed: The random seed to set when generating the random directions. Defaults to NULL.

Returns

A vector containing the depth values of dts with respect to dt.

Examples

projection_depth(dts = iris[1:5, -5], dt = iris[1:10, -5], n_projection = 7, seed = 20)
