This self-contained book presents up-to-date hypothesis testing methods for functional data analysis. Useful for statistical researchers and practitioners analyzing functional data, it gives both a theoretical and applied treatment of functional data analysis supported by easy-to-use MATLAB code. The book covers the reconstruction of functional observations, functional ANOVA, functional linear models with functional responses, ill-conditioned functional linear models, diagnostics of functional observations, heteroscedastic ANOVA for functional data, and testing equality of covariance functions. Data sets and MATLAB are available on the author's website.
