In this paper, we present a general framework for testing relevant hypotheses in functional time series. Our unified approach covers one-sample, two-sample, and change point problems under contaminated observations with arbitrary sampling…

This paper studies alpha testing in a high-dimensional conditional time-varying factor model with temporally dependent observations. Both factor loadings and alpha processes are allowed to vary smoothly over time, and the cross-sectional…

Cardiac motion analysis from B-mode ultrasound sequence is a key task in assessing the health of the heart. The paper proposes a new methodology for cardiac motion analysis based on the temporal behaviour of points of interest on the…

Change point tests for abrupt changes in the mean of functional data, i.e., random elements in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, are either based on dimension reduction techniques, e.g., based on principal components, or directly based…

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a noninvasive tool for studying cerebral function. Many factors challenge activation detection, especially in low-signal scenarios that arise in the performance of high-level cognitive tasks. We…

We extend the wavelet tests for fixed effects FANOVA models with iid errors, proposed in Abramovich et al, 2004 to FANOVA models with dependent errors and provide an iterative Cochrane-Orcutt type procedure to estimate the parameters and…

Dynamic functional connectivity is an effective measure for the brain's responses to continuous stimuli. We propose an inferential method to detect the dynamic changes of brain networks based on time-varying graphical models. Whereas most…

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a cost-effective, highly accessible and widely employed diagnostic tool. With the advent of Foundation Models (FMs), the field of AI-assisted ECG interpretation has begun to evolve, as they enable model reuse…

To detect differences between the mean curves of two samples in longitudinal study or functional data analysis, we usually need to partition the temporal or spatial domain into several pre-determined sub-areas. In this paper we apply the…

The likelihood ratio test against a tree ordered alternative in one-way heteroscedastic ANOVA is considered for the first time. Bootstrap is used to implement this and two multiple comparisons based tests and shown to have very good size…

This study examines the utility of functional connectivity (FC) and graph-based (GB) measures with a support vector machine classifier for use in electroencephalogram (EEG) based biometrics. Although FC-based features have been used in…

The theory of testing statistical functionals is developed for non-parametric two-sample problems. For differentiable real-valued statistical functionals, some tests for the one-sided and two-sided cases are proposed and studied. The…

In this paper, we propose a test procedure based on the LASSO methodology to test the global null hypothesis of no dependence between a response variable and $p$ predictors, where $n$ observations with $n < p$ are available. The proposed…

Physiological signals, such as the electrocardiogram and the phonocardiogram are very often corrupted by noisy sources. Usually, artificial intelligent algorithms analyze the signal regardless of its quality. On the other hand, physicians…

Echocardiogram (echo) is the earliest and the primary tool for identifying regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) in order to diagnose myocardial infarction (MI) or commonly known as heart attack. This paper proposes a novel approach,…

The heart sound signals (Phonocardiogram - PCG) enable the earliest monitoring to detect a potential cardiovascular pathology and have recently become a crucial tool as a diagnostic test in outpatient monitoring to assess heart hemodynamic…

Efficacy testing is a cornerstone of clinical trials, ensuring that medical interventions achieve their intended therapeutic effects. Over the decades, a wide range of statistical methodologies have been developed to address the…

We consider the problem of detecting a change point in a sequence of mean functions from a functional time series. We propose an $L^1$ norm based methodology and establish its theoretical validity both for classical and for relevant…

Suppose F and G are two life distribution functions. It is said that F is more IFRA than G (written by F<_* G) if G^(-1) F(x) is starshaped on (0,infty). In this paper, the problem of testing H_0:F=_* G against H_1:F<_* G and F \neq_* G is…

Accurate identification of End-Diastolic (ED) and End-Systolic (ES) frames is key for cardiac function assessment through echocardiography. However, traditional methods face several limitations: they require extensive amounts of data,…
