This function computes the Modified Band Depth (MBD) of elements of a functional dataset.

MBD(Data, manage_ties = FALSE)

# S3 method for fData
MBD(Data, manage_ties = FALSE)

# S3 method for default
MBD(Data, manage_ties = FALSE)

Arguments

Data

either a fData object or a matrix-like dataset of functional data (e.g. fData$values), with observations as rows and measurements over grid points as columns.

manage_ties

a logical flag specifying whether a check for ties and relative treatment must be carried out or not (default is FALSE).

Value

The function returns a vector containing the values of MBD for the given dataset.

Details

Given a univariate functional dataset, \(X_1(t), X_2(t), \ldots, X_N(t)\), defined over a compact interval \(I= [a,b]\), this function computes the sample MBD of each element with respect to the other elements of the dataset, i.e.:

$$ MBD( X( t ) ) = {N \choose 2 }^{-1} \sum_{1 \leq i_1 < i_2 \leq N} \tilde{\lambda}\big( {t : \min( X_{i_1}(t), X_{i_2}(t) ) \leq X(t) \leq \max( X_{i_1}(t), X_{i_2}(t) ) } \big), $$

where \(\tilde{\lambda}(\cdot)\) is the normalized Lebesgue measure over \(I=[a,b]\), that is \(\tilde{\lambda(A)} = \lambda( A ) / ( b - a )\).

See the References section for more details.
