Several multivariate depth functions have been proposed in the literature, of which some satisfy all the conditions for statistical depth functions while some do not. Spatial depth is known to be invariant to spherical and shift transformations. In this paper, the possibility of using different versions of spatial depth in classification is considered. The covariance-adjusted, weighted, and kernel-based versions of spatial depth functions are presented to classify multivariate outcomes. We extend the maximal depth classification notions for the covariance-adjusted, weighted, and kernel-based spatial depth versions. The classifiers' performance is considered and compared with some existing classification methods using simulated and real datasets.

Concept of data depth provides one possible approach to the analysis of multivariate data.Among other it can be also used for classification purposes. The present paper is an overview of the research in the field of depth-based classification for multivariate data.It provides a short summary of current state of knowledge in the field of depth-based classification followed by detailed discussion of four main directions in the depth-based classification, namely semiparametric depth-based classifiers, maximal depth classifier, (maximal depth) classifiers which use local depth functions and finally advanced depth-based classifiers.We do not restrict our attention only on proposed classifiers. The paper rather aims to overview the ideas connected with depth-based classification and problems that were discussed in this context.
