Description

Robust Functional Analysis of Variance (RoFANOVA) allows identifying the presence of significant differences, in terms of functional mean, among groups of a functional data by being robust against the presence of outliers (Centofanti et al., 2023).

label_1

If cores>1, then parallel computing is used, with cores cores. Default is 1.

maxit

The maximum number of iterations allowed in the re-weighted least-squares algorithm to compute the equivariant functional M-estimator.
tol
