Choosing the most relevant level sets for depicting a sample of densities. (English) Zbl 1417.62062
Summary: When exploring a sample composed with a set of bivariate density functions, the question of the visualisation of the data has to front with the choice of the relevant level set(s). The approach proposed in this paper consists in defining the optimal level set(s) as being the one(s) allowing for the best reconstitution of the whole density. A fully data-driven procedure is developed in order to estimate the link between the level set(s) and their corresponding density, to construct optimal level set(s) and to choose automatically the number of relevant level set(s). The method is based on recent advances in functional data analysis when both response and predictors are functional. After a wide description of the methodology, finite sample studies are presented (including both real and simulated data) while theoretical studies are reported to a final appendix.
