摘要: In this paper we survey a sequence of papers whose primary aim is the generalization concept median into higher dimensional settings. While variety distinct definitions multivariate data set are possible these have common property producing usual definition when applied to univariate or distribution. Some ideas equivariance, symmetry and breakdown discussed as well computational convenience for each definition. The extension directional statistics also discussed.
