    High Density Region boxplot

    Parameters

    alpha : list of floats between 0 and 1, optional
        Extra quantile values to compute. Default is None
    threshold : float between 0 and 1, optional
        Percentile threshold value for outliers detection. High value means
        a lower sensitivity to outliers. Default is `0.95`.
    bw: array_like or str, optional
        If an array, it is a fixed user-specified bandwidth. If `None`, set to
        `normal_reference`. If a string, should be one of:

            - normal_reference: normal reference rule of thumb (default)
            - cv_ml: cross validation maximum likelihood
            - cv_ls: cross validation least squares

    xdata : ndarray, optional
        The independent variable for the data. If not given, it is assumed to
        be an array of integers 0..N-1 with N the length of the vectors in

        The labels or identifiers of the curves in `data`. If not given,
        outliers are labeled in the plot with array indices.
    ax : Matplotlib AxesSubplot instance, optional
        If given, this subplot is used to plot in instead of a new figure being
        created.

    Returns
    -------
    fig : Matplotlib figure instance
        If `ax` is None, the created figure.  Otherwise the figure to which
        `ax` is connected.
    hdr_res : HdrResults instance
        An `HdrResults` instance with the following attributes:

         - 'median', array. Median curve.
         - 'hdr_50', array. 50% quantile band. [sup, inf] curves
         - 'hdr_90', list of array. 90% quantile band. [sup, inf]
            curves.
         - 'extra_quantiles', list of array. Extra quantile band.
            [sup, inf] curves.
         - 'outliers', ndarray. Outlier curves.

    Notes
    -----
    The median curve is the curve with the highest probability on the reduced
    space of a Principal Component Analysis (PCA).

    Outliers are defined as curves that fall outside the band corresponding
    to the quantile given by `threshold`.

    The non-outlying region is defined as the band made up of all the
    non-outlying curves.

    Behind the scene, the dataset is represented as a matrix. Each line
    corresponding to a 1D curve. This matrix is then decomposed using Principal
    Components Analysis (PCA). This allows to represent the data using a finite
    number of modes, or components. This compression process allows to turn the
    functional representation into a scalar representation of the matrix. In
    other words, you can visualize each curve from its components. Each curve
    is thus a point in this reduced space. With 2 components, this is called a
    bivariate plot (2D plot).

    In this plot, if some points are adjacent (similar components), it means
    that back in the original space, the curves are similar. Then, finding the
    median curve means finding the higher density region (HDR) in the reduced
    space. Moreover, the more you get away from this HDR, the more the curve is
    unlikely to be similar to the other curves.

    Using a kernel smoothing technique, the probability density function (PDF)
    of the multivariate space can be recovered. From this PDF, it is possible to
    compute the density probability linked to the cluster of points and plot
    its contours.

    Finally, using these contours, the different quantiles can be extracted
    along with the median curve and the outliers.

    Steps to produce the HDR boxplot include:

    1. Compute a multivariate kernel density estimation
    2. Compute contour lines for quantiles 90%, 50% and `alpha` %
    3. Plot the bivariate plot
    4. Compute median curve along with quantiles and outliers curves.

    """Plot functional boxplot.

    A functional boxplot is the analog of a boxplot for functional data.
    Functional data is any type of data that varies over a continuum, i.e.
    curves, probabillity distributions, seasonal data, etc.

    The data is first ordered, the order statistic used here is `banddepth`.
    Plotted are then the median curve, the envelope of the 50% central region,
    the maximum non-outlying envelope and the outlier curves.

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : sequence of ndarrays or 2-D ndarray
        The vectors of functions to create a functional boxplot from.  If a
        sequence of 1-D arrays, these should all be the same size.
        The first axis is the function index, the second axis the one along
        which the function is defined.  So ``data[0, :]`` is the first
        functional curve.
    xdata : ndarray, optional
        The independent variable for the data.  If not given, it is assumed to
        be an array of integers 0..N-1 with N the length of the vectors in
        `data`.
    labels : sequence of scalar or str, optional
        The labels or identifiers of the curves in `data`.  If given, outliers
        are labeled in the plot.
    depth : ndarray, optional
        A 1-D array of band depths for `data`, or equivalent order statistic.
        If not given, it will be calculated through `banddepth`.
    method : {'MBD', 'BD2'}, optional
        The method to use to calculate the band depth.  Default is 'MBD'.
    wfactor : float, optional
        Factor by which the central 50% region is multiplied to find the outer
        region (analog of "whiskers" of a classical boxplot).
    ax : Matplotlib AxesSubplot instance, optional
        If given, this subplot is used to plot in instead of a new figure being
        created.
    plot_opts : dict, optional
        A dictionary with plotting options.  Any of the following can be
        provided, if not present in `plot_opts` the defaults will be used::

          - 'cmap_outliers', a Matplotlib LinearSegmentedColormap instance.
          - 'c_inner', valid MPL color. Color of the central 50% region
          - 'c_outer', valid MPL color. Color of the non-outlying region
          - 'c_median', valid MPL color. Color of the median.
          - 'lw_outliers', scalar.  Linewidth for drawing outlier curves.
          - 'lw_median', scalar.  Linewidth for drawing the median curve.
          - 'draw_nonout', bool.  If True, also draw non-outlying curves.

    Returns
    -------
    fig : Matplotlib figure instance
        If `ax` is None, the created figure.  Otherwise the figure to which
        `ax` is connected.
    depth : ndarray
        1-D array containing the calculated band depths of the curves.
    ix_depth : ndarray
        1-D array of indices needed to order curves (or `depth`) from most to
        least central curve.
    ix_outliers : ndarray
        1-D array of indices of outlying curves in `data`.

    Notes
    -----
    The median curve is the curve with the highest band depth.

    Outliers are defined as curves that fall outside the band created by
    multiplying the central region by `wfactor`.  Note that the range over
    which they fall outside this band doesn't matter, a single data point
    outside the band is enough.  If the data is noisy, smoothing may therefore
    be required.

    The non-outlying region is defined as the band made up of all the
    non-outlying curves.

    outliers; these are the years where El Nino (a climate pattern
    characterized by warming up of the sea surface and higher air pressures)
    occurred with unusual intensity.

        The vectors of functions to create a functional boxplot from.  If a
        sequence of 1-D arrays, these should all be the same size.
        The first axis is the function index, the second axis the one along
        which the function is defined.  So ``data[0, :]`` is the first
        functional curve.
    xdata : ndarray, optional
        The independent variable for the data.  If not given, it is assumed to
        be an array of integers 0..N-1 with N the length of the vectors in
        `data`.
    depth : ndarray, optional
        A 1-D array of band depths for `data`, or equivalent order statistic.
        If not given, it will be calculated through `banddepth`.
    method : {'MBD', 'BD2'}, optional
        The method to use to calculate the band depth.  Default is 'MBD'.
    ax : Matplotlib AxesSubplot instance, optional
        If given, this subplot is used to plot in instead of a new figure being
        created.
    cmap : Matplotlib LinearSegmentedColormap instance, optional
        The colormap used to color curves with.  Default is a rainbow colormap,
        with red used for the most central and purple for the least central
        curves.

    Returns
    -------
    fig : Matplotlib figure instance
        If `ax` is None, the created figure.  Otherwise the figure to which
        `ax` is connected.

    """Calculate the band depth for a set of functional curves.

    Band depth is an order statistic for functional data (see `fboxplot`), with
    a higher band depth indicating larger "centrality".  In analog to scalar
    data, the functional curve with highest band depth is called the median
    curve, and the band made up from the first N/2 of N curves is the 50%
    central region.

    Parameters
    ----------
    data : ndarray
        The vectors of functions to create a functional boxplot from.
        The first axis is the function index, the second axis the one along
        which the function is defined.  So ``data[0, :]`` is the first
        functional curve.
    method : {'MBD', 'BD2'}, optional
        Whether to use the original band depth (with J=2) of [1]_ or the
        modified band depth.  See Notes for details.

    Returns
    -------
    depth : ndarray
        Depth values for functional curves.

    Notes
    -----
    Functional band depth as an order statistic for functional data was
    proposed in [1]_ and applied to functional boxplots and bagplots in [2]_.

    The method 'BD2' checks for each curve whether it lies completely inside
    bands constructed from two curves.  All permutations of two curves in the
    set of curves are used, and the band depth is normalized to one.  Due to
    the complete curve having to fall within the band, this method yields a lot
    of ties.

    The method 'MBD' is similar to 'BD2', but checks the fraction of the curve
    falling within the bands.  It therefore generates very few ties.
