DESCRIPTION:Ana-Maria Staicu\, North Carolina State University \nWe consid
 er longitudinal functional regression\, where for each subject\, we observ
 e multiple 1D profiles (curves) over different time visits. We explore the
  idea of “projecting” the data onto 1D directions and discuss signific
 ance tests based on ``projections” in two general settings.\nFirst\, we 
 develop tests to assess that the mean profile is time-invariant. Second\, 
 in the presence of additional covariate\, we develop hypothesis testing to
  assess the significance of the covariate's time-varying effect.\nThe test
 s have a non-standard null distribution that is easy to simulate from. Num
 erical studies confirm that the testing approaches have the correct size i
 n finite samples and have a superior power relative to available competito
 rs. The methods are illustrated on a data application. \n\n
