In this paper, we address the problem of dimension reduction for time series of functional data $(X_t\colon t\in\mathbb{Z})$. Such {\it functional time series} frequently arise, e.g., when a continuous-time process is segmented into some…

Functional principal component analysis (FPCA) could become invalid when data involve non-Gaussian features. Therefore, we aim to develop a general FPCA method to adapt to such non-Gaussian cases. A Kenall's $\tau$ function, which possesses…
