Functional Data Analysis (FDA) is a collection of statistical techniques for the analysis of information on curves or functions. This paper presents a new methodology for analyzing the daily traffic flow profiles based on the employment of FDA. A daily traffic profile corresponds to a single...

Let (X,Y),(X1,Y1),(X2,Y2),... denote independent positive random vectors with common distribution function F(x,y)=P(X[less-than-or-equals, slant]x,Y[less-than-or-equals, slant]y) with F(x,y)1 for all x,y. Based on the Xi and the Yj we construct the sum sequences and respectively. For a double...
