This work is motivated by the problem of defining non-linear PCA methods for the statistical analysis of densities. For this purpose, we introduce the method of Geodesic Principal Component Analysis (GPCA) analysis on the space of probability measures on the line, with finite second moments,...

After a brief review of support vector machines (SVM) classification, we will discuss the underlying optimization issues and available methods to perform training and propose new first order constrained approaches. The methods exploit the structure of the SVM training problem and combine ideas of...

Motivated by numerous applications, the statistical modeling of functional data received a lot of attention during the last years. However, procedures for functional regression model checks are only little developed. Consider a response variable taking values in a Hilbert space that admits a finite...
