Classification ensembles for multivariate functional data with application to mouse movements in web surveys
We propose new ensemble models for multivariate functional data classification as combinations of semi-metric-based weak learners. Our models extend current semi-metric-type methods from the univariate to the multivariate case, propose new semi-metrics to compute distances between functions, and consider more flexible options for combining weak learners using stacked generalisation methods. We apply these ensemble models to identify respondents' difficulty with survey questions, with the aim to improve survey data quality. As predictors of difficulty, we use mouse movement trajectories from the respondents' interaction with a web survey, in which several questions were manipulated to create two scenarios with different levels of difficulty.

The Mahalanobis distance for functional data with applications to classification
This paper presents a general notion of Mahalanobis distance for functional data that extends the classical multivariate concept to situations where the observed data are points belonging to curves generated by a stochas…

In functional data analysis, binary classification with one functional covariate has been extensively studied. We aim to fill in the gap of considering multivariate functional covariates in classification. In particular,…
Binary ClassificationAn Outlyingness Matrix for Multivariate Functional Data Classification
The classification of multivariate functional data is an important task in scientific research. Unlike point-wise data, functional data are usually classified by their shapes rather than by their scales. We define an out…
