Abstract: Abstract Integrated functional depths (IFDs) present a versatile toolbox of methods introducing notions of ordering, quantiles, and rankings into a functional data analysis context. They provide fundamental tools for nonparametric inference of infinite-dimensional data. Recently, the literature has extended IFDs to address the challenges posed by partial observability of functional data, commonly encountered in practice. That resulted in the development of partially observed integrated functional depths (POIFDs). POIFDs have demonstrated good empirical results in simulated experiments and real problems. However, there are still no theoretical results in line with the state of the art of IFDs. This article addresses this gap by providing theoretical support for POIFDs, including (i) uniform consistency of their sample versions, (ii) weak continuity with respect to the underlying probability measure, and (iii) uniform consistency for discretely observed functional data. Finally, we present a sensitivity analysis that evaluates how our theoretical results are affected by violations of the main assumptions.
