For hypothesis testing of functional parameters, given a functional statistic $T_n$ and a functional depth $D$ with respect to the distribution $P_n$ of $T_n$, we propose the depth value $DT_n \equiv D(T_n;P_n)$ as a test statistic, which…

Evaluating whether data streams are drawn from the same distribution is at the heart of various machine learning problems. This is particularly relevant for data generated by dynamical systems since such systems are essential for many…
The aim of this paper is to develop a change-point test for functional time series that uses the full functional information and is less sensitive to outliers compared to the classical CUSUM test. For this aim, the Wilcoxon two-sample test…
