Abstract :
Data depth is used to measure the depth or outlyingness of a given multivariate sample with respect to its underlying distribution. It can be lead to a natural center-outward ordering of sample points. The essence of depth function in multivariate analyses is to measure the degree of centrality of point relative to a data set or probability distribution. This work explores data depth procedures in order to find the measure of location, namely deepest or center point. Further, the various depth procedures are examined under real and simulation environment with the help of R software. The efficiency of various data depth procedures have been studied by computing average misclassification error in the context of discriminant analysis with numerical illustration
