“…This objective is close to that of the stationarity rupture tests studied for about forty years by statisticians. Indeed, since the seminal work by J. Deshayes and D. Picard on the stationarity rupture in time series [ 3 , 4 ], many works have dealt with stationarity breaking [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ], the most recent using the concept of functional statistics, which considers observed curves of incidence or mortality as functions to be estimated in parametrized sets of functions [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ].…”
