FUNCTIONAL EXPLORATORY DATA ANALYSIS OF UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FOR VARIOUS COUNTRIES

Abstracts

EN

Functional exploratory techniques are applied in the analysis of an unemployment rate. The rate is smoothed into differentiable function in order to facilitate the analysis. The main aim of the analysis is assigned to find out the unemployment curves which do not follow the same pattern as that of the other ones.
