Detecting Changes in the Mean of Functional Observations
函数型观测均值变化的检测
Summary Principal component analysis has become a fundamental tool of functional data analysis. It represents the functional data as Xi(t) = μ(t)+Σ1≤l<∞ηi, l+ vl(t), where μ is the common mean, vl are the eigenfunctions of the covariance operator and the ηi, l are the scores. Inferential procedures assume that the mean function μ(t) is the same for all values of i. If, in fact, the observations do not come from one population, but rather their mean changes at some point(s),…
