Functional k-sample problem when data are density functions

چکیده
This paper deals with the k-sample problem for functional data when the observations are density functions. We introduce test procedures based on distances betweenpairs of density functions (L1 distance andHellinger distance, amongothers).A simulation study is carried out to compare the practical behaviour of the proposed tests. Theoretical derivations have been done in order to allow weighted samples in the test procedures. The paper ends with a real data example: for a collection of European regions we estimate the regional relative income densities and then we test the significance of the country effect.

Functional Data Analysis for Point Processes with Rare Events
In various applications, one encounters samples of objects, where each object consists of a small number of repeated event times observed over a fixed time interval. For such rare events data there are no flexible methods available that can be applied when the shapes of the intensity functions that generate the observed event times are not known or vary substantially between objects. We model t...
متن کاملGeneralization of Canonical Correlation Analysis from Multivariate to Functional Cases and its related problems
In multivariate cases, the aim of canonical correlation analysis (CCA) for two sets of variables x and y is to obtain linear combinations of them so that they have the largest possible correlation. However, when x and y are continouse functions of another variable (generally time) in nature, these two functions belong to function spaces which are of infinite dimension, and CCA for them should b...

متن کاملAsymptotic Distributions of Estimators of Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions in Functional Data
Functional data analysis is a relatively new and rapidly growing area of statistics. This is partly due to technological advancements which have made it possible to generate new types of data that are in the form of curves. Because the data are functions, they lie in function spaces, which are of infinite dimension. To analyse functional data, one way, which is widely used, is to employ princip...
