Abstract: We propose a novel framework for sparse functional clustering that also embeds an alignment step. Sparse functional clustering means finding a grouping structure while jointly detecting the parts of the curves' domains where their grouping structure shows the most. Misalignment is a well-known issue in functional data analysis, that can heavily affect functional clustering results if not properly handled. Therefore, we develop a sparse functional clustering procedure that accounts for the possible curve misalignment: the coherence of the functional measure used in the clustering step to the class where the warping functions are chosen is ensured, and the well-posedness of the sparse clustering problem is proved. A possible implementing algorithm is also proposed, that jointly performs all these tasks: clustering, alignment, and domain selection. The method is tested on simulated data in various realistic situations, and its application to the Berkeley Growth Study data and to the AneuRisk65 data set is discussed.
