The spatial sign covariance operator: Asymptotic results and applications

Due to increased recording capability, functional data analysis has become an important research topic. For functional data, the study of outlier detection and/or the development of robust statistical procedures started only recently. One robust alternative to the sample covariance operator is the s...
