Abstract

The paradigm of data variation decomposability underlies the statistical theory. Its intuitiveness has generated several methodologies which are easily interpreted as simple ANOVAs. The growing complexification of information has posed a new challenge to statistical analysis in the form of the so-called functional data and the high-dimensional categorical data sets. Functional data allows for the (even if partial) definition of variability and its decomposition (Abramovih et al., 2004; Abramovich and Angelini, 2006). For multi- or infinite-dimensional categorical data variability- and dispersion-based measures are physically irrelevant and spurious. For these categorical problems one should use dissimilarity measures which can be decomposed in an analogous manner to the classical ANOVAs (Pinheiro et al., 2005; 2009). The aim of this project is to theoretically extend the available results in subgroup decomposability fTr quasi U-statistics and wavelet ANOVA functional data models (AU)
