“…Another advantage is that by using the smoothing metric, the new depth exploits the cardinality and distribution under one framework, and a proper center-outward rank for a set of spatial data is naturally provided. This is in contrast to previous studies [17,19], where cardinality and distirubtion are combined in a weighted form and the weight coefficient may vary with respect to data.…”

“…In Qi et al [17], Dirichlet depth was proposed to overcome the boundary issue, and in Xu et al [18] a smoothing approach was adopted to define depth using a functional depth on the smoothed process. In Zhou et al [19], ILR depth was developed via the classical Isometric Log-Ratio (ILR) transformation to address the non-Euclidean issues in the point process space.…”

“…Despite the progress of statistical depth for temporal point process, the investigations on depth for the spatial point process are still under-explored. For the temporal point process, the depth on point locations can be defined based on the equivalent inter-event intervals [16,17,19]. However, this approach is not applicable in the spatial case due to the lack of point order and notion of inter-event.…”

Statistical depth is widely used as a powerful tool to measure the center-outward rank of multivariate and functional data. Recent studies have introduced the notion of depth to the temporal point process, which exhibits randomness in the cardinality as well as distribution in the observed events. The proposed methods can well capture the rank of a point process in a given time interval, where a critical step is to measure the rank by using inter-arrival events. In this paper, we propose to extend the depth concept to multivariate spatial point process. In this case, the observed process is in a multi-dimensional location and there are no conventional inter-arrival events in the temporal process. We adopt the newly developed depth in metric space by defining two different metrics, namely the penalized metric and the smoothing metric, to fully explore the depth in the spatial point process. The mathematical properties and the large sample theory, as well as depth-based hypothesis testings, are thoroughly discussed. We then use several simulations to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed depth method. Finally, we apply the new method in a real-world dataset and obtain desirable ranking performance.

Point process provides a mathematical framework for characterizing neuronal spiking activities. Classical point process methods often focus on the conditional intensity function, which describes the likelihood at any time point given its spiking history. However, these models do not describe the central tendency or importance of the spike train observations. Based on the recent development on the notion of center-outward rank for point process, we propose a new modeling framework on spike train data. The new likelihood of a spike train is a product of the marginal probability on the number of spikes and the probability of spike timings conditioned on the same number. In particular, the conditioned distribution is calculated by adopting the well-known Isometric Log-Ratio transformation. We systematically compare the new likelihood with the state-of-the-art point process likelihoods in terms of ranking, outlier detection, and classification using simulations and real spike train data. This new framework can effectively identify templates as well as outliers in spike train data. It also provides a reasonable model, and the parameters can be efficiently estimated with conventional maximum likelihood methods. It is found that the proposed likelihood provides an appropriate ranking on the spike train observations, effectively detects outliers, and accurately conducts classification tasks in the given data.
