Long range dependence spectral testing from discretely observed functional time series in manifolds

Abstract

A specification test for long range dependence (LRD) in functional time series in manifolds has been formulated in \cite{Ruiz-MedinaCrujeiras24} in the spectral domain for fully observed functional data. The asymptotic Gaussian distribution of the proposed test statistics, based on the weighted periodogram operator, under the null hypothesis, and the consistency of the test have been derived. In this paper, we analyze the asymptotic properties of this LRD spectral testing procedure, when the functional data are contaminated, and discretely observed through random uniform spatial sampling.
