Abstract
Central tendency of interval-valued random elements has been mainly described in terms of different notions of medians and location M-estimators in the literature, whereas the approach consisting of medians and trimmed means based on a depth function has been rarely considered. Recently, depth-based trimmed means have been adapted to the more general framework of fuzzy number-valued data in terms of the so-called \(D_\theta \)-depth. The aim of this work is to study the empirical behaviour of the particularization of such a location measure when data are interval-valued.
