Abstract: Statistical depth functions order the elements of a space with respect to their centrality in a probability distribution or dataset. Since many depth functions are maximized in the real line by the median, they provide a natural approach to defining median-like location estimators for more general types of data (in our case, fuzzy data). We analyze the relationships between depth-based medians, medians based on the support function, and some notions of a median for fuzzy data in the literature. We take advantage of specific depth functions for fuzzy data defined in our former papers: adaptations of Tukey depth, simplicial depth, L1-depth and projection depth.
