We introduce a modeling and mathematical framework in which the problem of registering a functional data set can be … consistently set. In detail, we show that the introduction, in a functional data analysis, of a metric/semi-metric and of a group … definition of phase and amplitude variability. Indeed, in this framework, we prove that the analysis of a registered functional …
