Abstract Text:

In this work, we model shapes of boundaries of two-dimensional objects that are dependent in space, i.e., spatially dependent shapes of parameterized curves. The proposed framework leverages an appropriately modified definition of the trace-variogram, which is commonly used to capture spatial dependence in functional data. This modified trace-variogram accounts for all shape-preserving transformations, e.g., scale, orientation and reparameterization, via distance-based registration, and can be used in various statistical tasks including (i) spatially informed shape clustering, and (ii) local spatially dependent shape summarization through kriging. The efficacy of our framework is demonstrated through extensive simulation studies. We highlight the method's practical utility and potential via an application to shapes of cell nuclei extracted from histopathology images.
