Randomness of Shapes and Statistical Inference on Shapes via the Smooth Euler Characteristic Transform
基于平滑欧拉示性数变换的随机形状建模与统计推断
In this article, we establish the mathematical foundations for modeling the randomness of shapes and conducting statistical inference on shapes using the smooth Euler characteristic transform. Based on these foundations, we propose two chi-squared statistic-based algorithms for testing hypotheses on random shapes. Simulation studies are presented to validate our mathematical derivations and to compare our algorithms with state-of-the-art methods to demonstrate the utility of…
