Functions whose depth is computed, represented by a dataf object of their arguments and functional values. m stands for the number of functions.

Random sample functions with respect to which the depth of datafA is computed. datafB is represented by a dataf object of their arguments and functional values. n is the sample size. The grid of observation points for the functions datafA and datafB may not be the same.

The common range of the domain where the functions datafA and datafB are observed. Vector of length 2 with the left and the right end of the interval. Must contain all arguments given in datafA and datafB.

Grid size to which all the functional data are transformed. For depth computation, all functional observations are first transformed into vectors of their functional values of length d corresponding to equi-spaced points in the domain given by the interval range. Functional values in these points are reconstructed using linear interpolation, and extrapolation.

The norm used for the computation of the depth. Two possible choices are implemented: C for the uniform norm of continuous functions, and L2 for the L^2 norm of integrable functions.

The quantile used to determine the value of the bandwidth h in the computation of the h-mode depth. h is taken as the q-quantile of all non-zero distances between the functions B. By default, this value is set to q=0.2, in accordance with the choice of Cuevas et al. (2007).
