The U.S. National Landcover Dataset (NLCD) and the U.S National Elevation Dataset (NED) (bare earth elevations) were used in an attempt to assess to what extent the directional and slope dependency of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) finished digital elevation model is affected by landcover. Four landcover classes: forest, shrubs, grass and snow cover, were included in the study area...

We place ourselves in a functional regression setting and propose novel methodology for regressing real output on vector-valued covariates. This is based the notion of signature, which representation function as an infinite series its iterated integrals. The signature depends crucially truncation parameter estimator provided, together with theoretical guarantees. An empirical study both simulat...
