Epigraph Index of univariate functional dataset

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

EI(Data)

# S3 method for fData
EI(Data)

# S3 method for default
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.

Value

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

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 $X(t)$.
