Abstract:

Statistical shape analysis of curves is well-developed when curves are fully observed. This work considers partially observed curves and develops methods for curve completion or imputation by leveraging tools from the statistical analysis of shape of fully observed curves, which enables sensible curve completions. On a dataset containing partially observed bovid teeth arising from a biological anthropology application, the method is implemented and classification of the completed teeth is carried out based on a shape distance on the set of curves.
