Clustering geostatistical functional data

"In this paper, we consider two clustering strategies in order to explore spatial. relations among functional data. A first strategy aims to classify spatially. dependent functional data and to obtain a spatio-functional representative model for. each cluster. A second one is a clusterwise regression method, that achieves, simultaneously, an optimal partition. of a spatial functional data set and a set of bivariate functional regression models associated. to the clusters. These models take into account both the interactions among. different functional variables and the spatial relations among the observations."
