R: Calculate Depth Space using Projection Depth

depth.space.projection {ddalpha} | R Documentation

## Calculate Depth Space using Projection Depth

### Description

Calculates the representation of the training classes in depth space using projection depth.

### Usage

    depth.space.projection(data, cardinalities,
                           method = "random", num.directions = 1000, seed = 0)

### Arguments

`data` | Matrix containing training sample where each row is a d-dimensional object, and objects of each class are kept together so that the matrix can be thought of as containing blocks of objects representing classes.
`cardinalities` | Numerical vector of cardinalities of each class in `data`, each entry corresponds to one class.
`method` | to be used in calculations. `"random"` Here the depth is determined as the minimum univariate depth of the data projected on lines in several directions. The directions are distributed uniformly on the (d-1)-sphere; the same direction set is used for all points. `"linearize"` The Nelder-Mead method for function minimization, taken from Olsson, Journal of Quality Technology, 1974, 6, 56. R-codes of this function were written by Subhajit Dutta.
`num.directions` | Number of random directions to be generated for `method = "random"`. With the growth of n the complexity grows linearly for the same number of directions.
`seed` | the random seed. The default value `seed=0` makes no changes.

### Details

The depth representation is calculated in the same way as in `depth.projection`, see 'References' for more information and details.

### Value

Matrix of objects, each object (row) is represented via its depths (columns) w.r.t. each of the classes of the training sample; order of the classes in columns corresponds to the one in the argument `cardinalities`.

### Examples

    # Generate a bivariate normal location-shift classification task
    # containing 20 training objects
    class1 <- mvrnorm(10, c(0,0),
                      matrix(c(1,1,1,4), nrow = 2, ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE))
    class2 <- mvrnorm(10, c(2,2),
                      matrix(c(1,1,1,4), nrow = 2, ncol = 2, byrow = TRUE))
    data <- rbind(class1, class2)
    # Get depth space using projection depth
    depth.space.projection(data, c(10, 10), method = "random", num.directions = 1000)
    depth.space.projection(data, c(10, 10), method = "linearize")

    data <- getdata("hemophilia")
    cardinalities = c(sum(data$gr == "normal"), sum(data$gr == "carrier"))
    depth.space.projection(data[,1:2], cardinalities)
