The scatter halfspace depth is a quite recently established concept which extends the idea of the location halfspace depth for positive definite matrices. It provides an interest- ing insight into the problem of suitability quantification of a matrix for the description of the covariance structure of the multivariate distribution. The thesis focuses on the investigation of theoretical properties of the depth for both general and more specific probability distributions which can be used for data analysis. It turns out that the es- timators of scatter parameters based on the empirical scatter depth are quite effective even under relatively weak assumptions. These estimators are useful especially for dealing with a sample containing outliers or contaminating observations. 1
