Title: Exploration of shape features for functional data Authors:  Stanislav Nagy - Charles University (Czech Republic) [presenting]
Abstract: In many situations, the shape of functional observations is an important feature that must be taken into account in statistical analysis. The information about the shape properties can be extracted from the derivatives of the sample trajectories. Though, this approach can be applied only if the curves are regular and smooth, and the derivatives must be estimated. We present a simple alternative to this methodology based on simultaneous evaluation of multivariate projections of the data. This technique does not require smoothness or continuity, yet provides fine recognition of shape traits of the curves. The idea is illustrated on - but not limited to - functional data depth.
