  1. Testing for Lack of Dependence in Functional Linear Model Inga Maslova, Piotr Kokoszka Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Utah State University • Size and power of the test do not depend on p and q. • Use R = 1000 replications of samples • Brownian bridge and motion processes, Fourier and spline bases give same results Equivalently, in Hilbert space notation Test hypothesis: versus Introduce the operators: Denote their empirical counterparts by e.g. Define the eigenelements by Fig. 2 Empirical size of the test for α = 1%, 5%, 10% (indicated by dotted lines) for different combinations of p and q. Here εn and Yn, n = 1, 2,…, N are two independent Brownian Bridges. Empirical eigenelements: Identity implies Ψ practically vanishes on if Test statistic: Fig. 3 Empirical power of the test for different combinations of principal components and different sample sizes N. Here Xn and εn are Brownian Bridges. In panels (a), (b) ||Ψ|| = 0.75; in panels (c), (d) ||Ψ|| = 0.5. Under H0 Introduction Test Procedure Simulation Study Results Application Results Conclusion Functional Linear Model: • Test if auroral geomagnetic activity reflected in the high-latitude curves has an effect on the processes in the equatorial belt reflected by the mid- and high-latitude curves • Use one-day high-latitude records during the substorms as Xn. Let Yn be the records during the same substorm days and 1, 2, 3 days later. Check how long the effects of substorm last • Table 1 provides test results for the substorm effects during: January – March (40 substorms); March – May (42 substorms); June – August (42 substorms) • Selecting three month periods ensures that the data is identically distributed (distribution could be effected by the Earth rotation) • Substorm effect lasts for about 2 days • FLM allows to work directly with the measurements • Test statistic gives good approximation for sample sizes around 50 • The empirical sizes are close to nominal sizes and are not affected by the choise of the number of PC’s • Test does not depend on the choise of the functional basis • Novel methodology that is relatively easy to apply, useful for finely sampled data analysis We study the functional linear model, Yn= ΨXn + εn, with functional response and explanatory variables. We propose a simple test of the nullity of Ψ based on the principal component decomposition. The test statistic has asymptotic chi-squared distribution, which is also an excellent approximation in finite samples. The methodology is applied to data from terrestrial magnetic observatories. Objectives and Motivation • Finely sampled records available • Dimension reduction using functional principal components (FPC) • Magnetometer data analysis (Fig. 1).
