CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nPLEASE NOTE: THIS SEMINAR WILL BE GIVEN ONLINE.\n\ nTWO-SAMPLE TEST ON FUNSCALAR DATA WITH APPLICATION TO HEMODIALYSIS\nMONIT ORING BY RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY\n\nTo achieve in-session monitoring of hemodia lysis through Raman\nspectroscopy\, it is necessary to compare data consis t of Raman spectra\nand intensity values for specific biomarkers (e.g.\, u rea) contained in\nwaste dialysate used in hemodialysis treatement. This c alls for the\ndevelopment of a two-sample test procedure for funscalar d ata\, data\nthat are a mix of functional and scalar variables. Despite a r ich\nliterature on univariate functional data testing procedures and a few \npublications on multivariate functional data testing procedures\, there\ nis no such a testing procedure for funscalar data. In this work we\npropo se the first testing procedure for funscalar data\, generalizing\nthe func tional data approach in Horvath et al (2013). The test\nstatistic is base d on the L_2 distance between the two mean funscalar\nobjects. Its asympto tic null distribution and asymptotic power are\nstudied. We then demonstra te its performance through extensive\nsimulations and its usefulness is th rough data collected in our\nhemodialysis monitoring experiments.\n\nThis seminar will be hosted by Webex. \n\nTo join\, please follow this link:  Department Seminar by Pang Du\n[https://uwaterloo.webex.com/uwaterloo/onst age/g.php?MTID=e231d4b0215e8d1bcf8825a99c778cd02]\n DTSTAMP:20250708T204715Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
