We present an inductive conformal anomaly detection method based on elastic functional distance metrics. This method is evaluated and compared to similar conformal anomaly detection methods for functional data using simulation experiments. The method is also used in the analysis of two real exemplar data sets that show its utility in practical applications. The results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method for detecting both magnitude and shape outliers in two distinct outlier detection scenarios.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.01172v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2504.01172v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"conformal-anomaly-detection-for-functional","repo_url":"https://github.com/sandialabs/conformal-functional-outliers","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
