Abstract

A scan method for functional data indexed in space has been developed. The scan statistic is derived from the Hotelling test statistic for functional data, extending the univariate and multivariate Gaussian spatial scan statistics. This method consistently outperforms existing techniques in detecting and locating spatial clusters, as demonstrated through simulations. It has been applied to two types of real data: economic data in order to identify spatial clusters of abnormal unemployment rates in Spain and climatic data in order to detect unusual climate change patterns in Great Britain, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Venezuela.
