RT Journal Article T1 The DDG-classifier in the functional setting A1 Cuesta Albertos, Juan A. A1 Febrero Bande, Manuel A1 Oviedo de la Fuente, Manuel K1 DD-classifier K1 Functional depths K1 Functional data analysis AB The maximum depth classifier was the first attempt to use data depths instead of multivariate raw data in classification problems. Recently, the DD-classifier has addressed some of the serious limitations of this classifier but issues still remain. This paper aims to extend the DD-classifier as follows: first, by enabling it to handle more than two groups; second, by applying regular classification methods (such as kNN, linear or quadratic classifiers, recursive partitioning, etc) to DD-plots, which is particularly useful, because it gives insights based on the diagnostics of these methods; and third, by integrating various sources of information (data depths, multivariate functional data, etc) in the classification procedure in a unified way. This paper also proposes an enhanced revision of several functional data depths and it provides a simulation study and applications to some real data sets PB Springer SN 1133-0686 YR 2017 FD 2017 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18647 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18647 LA eng NO Cuesta-Albertos, J.A., Febrero-Bande, M. & Oviedo de la Fuente, M.
