Functional $K$ Sample Problem via Multivariate Optimal Measure Transport-Based Permutation Test

Statistics Theory 2025-04-25 v1 Statistics Theory

Abstract

The null hypothesis of equality of distributions of functional data coming from KK samples is considered. The proposed test statistic is multivariate and its components are based on pairwise Cram\'{e}r von Mises comparisons of empirical characteristic functionals. The significance of the test statistic is evaluated via the novel multivariate permutation test, where the final single pp-value is computed using the discrete optimal measure transport. The methodology is illustrated by real data on cumulative intraday returns of Bitcoin.
