“…FDA was 20 ago a very confidential area of researches and its popularization started really with Ramsay and Silverman's books (see Ramsay & Silverman, 1996, 2002, 2005). Twenty years later, many among standard multivariate statistical procedures have been adapted to functional data and there is now a wide literature on FDA as attested by the books (Aneiros, Bongiorno, Cao, & Vieu, 2017; Bongiorno, Goia, Salinelli, & Vieu, 2014; Bosq, 2000; Bosq & Blanke, 2007; Ferraty & Vieu, 2006; Horváth & Kokoszka, 2012; Hsing & Eubank, 2015; Shi & Choi, 2011; Zhang, 2013a), and by various bibliographical discussions such as Aneiros, Cao, and Vieu (2019), Aneiros, Cao, Fraiman, Genest, and Vieu (2019), Cuevas (2014), Geenens (2011), Goia and Vieu (2016), Horváth and Rice (2015), Jacques and Preda (2014), Ling and Vieu (2018), Müller and Hall (2016), Nagy (2017), Shang (2014a), and Vieu (2018).…”
