Statistical Depth for Interval Data: A Closeness-Based Approach and Its Applications
Abstract
With the rapid development of technology, interval data have been increasingly widely used in various fields, as they can effectively carry information on measurement uncertainty and original variability. Reasonable ranking and outlier screening of interval data are crucial for exploring their value, and statistical depth theory is an important tool to achieve this goal. Existing statistical depth methods are mostly defined for ordinary point-valued data, which are difficult to adapt to the characteristics of interval data and cannot meet the needs of their ranking and outlier detection. Therefore, this paper proposes a statistical depth suitable for interval data and conducts relevant application verification.
