A simple multiway ANOVA for functional data

We propose a procedure to test complicated ANOVA designs for functional data. The procedure is effective, flexible, easy to compute and does not require a heavy computational effort. It is based on the analysis of randomly chosen one-dimensional projections. The paper contains some theoretical results as well as some simulations and the analysis of some real data sets. Functional data include multidimensional data, so the paper contains a comparison between the proposed procedure and some usual MANOVA tests.
