Abstract

We briefly communicate results of a nonparametric and robust evaluation of\neffects of \the Fourth Millennium Development Goal of United Nations.\nMain aim of the goal was reducing by two thirds, between 1990--2015, the under\nfive months child mortality. Our novel analysis was conducted by means of very\npowerful and user friendly tools offered by the \Data Depth Concept being\na collection of multivariate techniques basing on multivariate generalizations\nof quantiles, ranges and order statistics. Results of our analysis are more\nconvincing than results obtained using classical statistical tools.\n
