Abstract: Unknown manifold structures may arise in functional data, especially when functional data exhibit the phase variation. Our work is built upon this manifold assumption. Under the unsupervised setting, we extend a geodesic distance estimation technique for high-dimensional data to functional data, derive the asymptotic convergence under observational errors, and propose a clustering procedure based on manifold learning outcomes. Under the supervised setting, we propose a label-weighted geodesic distance to incorporate the label information. When the manifold learning outcomes are coupled with multivariate classifiers, the procedure induces a family of new functional classifiers. In theory, we show that our functional classifier induced by the k-NN classifier is asymptotically optimal. Numerical examples show some gain of our clustering and classification algorithms.
