Abstract
In the talk, we will present and discuss a general framework for multi-aspect local non-parametric null-hypothesis testing for functional data defined on a common domain (Pini and Vantini, 2017). In detail: “multi-aspect” pertains to the fact the procedure allows the simultaneous investigation of many different data aspects like means, variances, quantiles of functional data and their associated differential and/or integral quantities; “local” pertains instead to the fact the procedure can impute the rejection to aspect-specific regions of the domain; finally, “non-parametric” refers to the fact that the specific implementation of the procedure is permutation-based and thus finite-sample exact and consistent independently on data Gaussianity. For ease of clarity, the focus will be on functional two-population tests and functional one-way ANOVA with an application on the statistical comparison of ultrasound tongue profiles pertaining to different allophones pronounced by the same speaker which can be modelled as functions varying on a spatio-temporal domain (Pini et al. 2017a). Finally, we will quickly show how to extend the approach to deal with more complex testing problems like functional two-way ANOVA and functional-on-scalar linear regression with applications to the analysis of spectral data (Pini et al. 2017b) and human movement data (Pini et al. 2015), respectively.
