Abstract: Functional data are being observed frequently in many scientific fields, and therefore most of the standard statistical methods are being adapted for functional data. The multivariate analysis of variance problem for functional data is considered. It seems to be of practical interest similarly as the one-way analysis of variance for such data. For the MANOVA problem for multivariate functional data, we propose permutation tests based on a basis function representation and tests based on random projections. Their performance is examined in comprehensive simulation studies, which provide an idea of the size control and power of the tests and identify differences between them. The simulation experiments are based on artificial data and real labeled multivariate time series data found in the literature. The results suggest that the studied testing procedures can detect small differences between vectors of curves even with small sample sizes. Illustrative real data examples of the use of the proposed testing procedures in practice are also presented.
