Robust Change-Point Detection for Functional Time Series Based on U-Statistics and Dependent Wild Bootstrap
The aim of this paper is to develop a change-point test for functional time series that uses the full functional information and is less sensitive to outliers compared to the classical CUSUM test. For this aim, the Wilcoxon two-sample test is generalized to functional data. To obtain the asymptotic distribution of the test statistic, we proof a limit theorem for a process of U-statistics with values in a Hilbert space under weak dependence. Critical values can be obtained by a newly developed version of the dependent wild bootstrap for non-degenerate 2-sample U-statistics.
