Improved Extrinsic Energy Tests for Projective Shape Analysis

Oregon Convention Center 

We present improved extrinsic energy tests for projective shape analyses. Our methods make use of novel embeddings for projective shape space and their tangential components data in place of the embedded sample data such as was previously considered in Guo, et al. (2023). We compare our novel methodologies with those based on embedded sample data via simulation studies and consider a real-life application of our methodology.
