Abstract: The selection of a pseudo-metric is a key issue in functional data analysis, influencing the performance of both nonparametric regression and classification methods. A class of weighted pseudo-metrics designed to better capture relevant features of functional covariates is introduced. Performance is evaluated via Monte Carlo simulations and real data analysis.
