Abstract: We have developed two scan statistics for detecting clusters of functional data indexed in space. The first method is based on an adaptation of a functional analysis of variance and the second one is based on a distribution-free spatial scan statistic for univariate data. In a simulation study, the distribution-free method always performed better than a nonparametric functional scan statistic, and the adaptation of the anova also performed better for data with a normal or a quasi-normal distribution. Our methods can detect smaller spatial clusters than the nonparametric method. Lastly, we used our scan statistics for functional data to search for spatial clusters of abnormal unemployment rates in France over the period 1998-2013 (divided into quarters).
