Homogeneity test for functional data

Abstract

In the context of functional data analysis, we propose new two sample tests for homogeneity. Based on some well-known depth measures, we construct four different statistics in order to measure distance between the two samples. A simulation study is performed to check the efficiency of the tests when confronted with shape and magnitude perturbation. Finally, we apply these tools to measure the homogeneity in some samples of real data, obtaining good results using this new method.
