Formula: d = 1 / (1 + sup_u |u'x - Med(u'X)| / MAD(u'X))
Details
The outlyingness of a point is the worst standardised deviation over all one-dimensional projections, and the depth is its reciprocal transform, so depth lies in (0, 1] and equals exactly 1 at a point whose projection is the median in every direction. In one dimension the supremum is attained at u = +/-1, so the depth is available in closed form.
