Hence, there is intrinsic interest in assessing the finite dimensionality of functional data. We show that this problem has several unique features. From some viewpoints the problem is trivial, in the sense that continuously distributed functional data which are exactly finite dimensional are immediately recognizable as such, if the sample size is sufficiently large. However, in practice, functional data are almost always observed with noise, for example, resulting from rounding or experimental error. Then the problem is almost insolubly difficult. In such cases a part of the average noise variance is confounded with the true signal and is not identifiable. However, it is possible to define the unconfounded part of the noise variance. This represents the best possible lower bound to all potential values of average noise variance and is estimable in low noise settings. Moreover, bootstrap methods can be used to describe the reliability of estimates of unconfounded noise variance, under the assumption that the signal is finite dimensional. Motivated by these ideas, we suggest techniques for assessing the finiteness of dimensionality. In particular, we show how to construct a critical point V^q such that, if the distribution of our functional data has fewer than q\u22121 degrees of freedom, then we should be willing to assume that the average variance of the added noise is at least V^q. If this level seems too high then we must conclude that the dimension is at least q\u22121. We show that simpler, more conventional techniques, based on hypothesis testing, are generally not effective.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-9868.2006.00562.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,7,19]],"date-time":"2006-07-19T12:08:38Z","timestamp":1153310918000},"page":"689-705","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":69,"title":["Assessing the Finite Dimensionality of Functional Data"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"68","author":[{"given":"Peter","family":"Hall","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian National University , Canberra , Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C\u00e9line","family":"Vial","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Australian National University , Canberra , Australia"},{"name":"Universit\u00e9 de Paris X\u2014Nanterre and Universit\u00e9 Paris VI et VII , France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023040708374104300_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"405","DOI":"10.1016\/0167-7152(92)90115-L","article-title":"PCA stability and choice of dimensionality","volume":"13","author":"Besse","year":"1992","journal-title":"Statist.
