Testing covariance separability for continuous functional data
Analyzing the covariance structure of data is a fundamental task of statistics. While this task is simple for low‐dimensional observations, it becomes challenging for more intricate objects, such as multi‐variate functions. Here, the covariance can be so complex that just saving a non‐parametric estimate is impractical and structural assumptions are ...
