Book DetailsDIMACS - Series in Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer ScienceVolume: 72; 2006; 246 ppMSC: Primary 60; 62; 65; 68
The book is a collection of some of the research presented at the workshop of the same name held in May 2003 at Rutgers University. The workshop brought together researchers from two different communities: statisticians and specialists in computational geometry. The main idea unifying these two research areas turned out to be the notion of data depth, which is an important notion both in statistics and in the study of efficiency of algorithms used in computational geometry. Many of the articles in the book lay down the foundations for further collaboration and interdisciplinary research.
Co-published with the Center for Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science beginning with Volume 8. Volumes 1–7 were co-published with the Association for Computer Machinery (ACM).
ReadershipGraduate students and research mathematicians interested in multivariate analysis and computational geometry.

Depth-based classification for functional data
-
Impartial trimmed means for functional data
-
Geometric measures of data depth
-
Computation of half-space depth using simulated annealing
-

This book clearly satisfies the goals of the editors: it contains state-of-the-art contributions on data depth that may be of interest to statisticians, mathematicians, computer scientists, and computational geometers. Connections between the different research fields are well exposed. This will certainly stimulate further interdisciplinary research.
