Multivariate Dispersion, Central Regions, and Depth : the Lift Zonoid Approach /

The lift zonoid approach is based on a new representation of probability measures: a d-variate probability measure is represented by a convex set, its lift zonoid. First, lift zonoids are useful in data analysis to describe an empiricaldistribution by central (so- called trimmed) regions. They give...
