EI {roahd}

Epigraph Index of univariate functional dataset

Description

This function computes the Epigraphic Index (EI) of elements of a univariate functional dataset.

Usage

EI(Data)

## S3 method for class 'fData'
EI(Data)

## Default S3 method:
EI(Data)

Arguments

Data

either an fData object or a matrix-like dataset of functional data (e.g. fData$values), with observations as rows and measurements over grid points as columns.

Details

Given a univariate functional dataset, X_1(t), X_2(t), \ldots, X_N(t), defined over a compact interval I=[a,b], this function computes the EI, i.e.:

EI( X(t) ) = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^N I( G( X_i(t) ) \subset epi( X(t) ) ) = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{i=1}^N I( X_i(t) \geq X(t), \ \ \forall t \in I),

where G(X_i(t)) indicates the graph of X_i(t), epi( X(t)) indicates the epigraph of X(t).

Value

The function returns a vector containing the values of EI for each element of the functional dataset provided in Data.
