Generalized Mahalanobis depth in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space - Statistical Papers

In this paper, Mahalanobis depth (MHD) in the Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS) is proposed. First, we extend the notion of MHD to a generalized version, i.e., the generalized MHD (GHMD), to make it suitable for the small sample with singular covariance matrix. We prove that GMHD is consisten…
