Abstract
We provide user friendly software for Bayesian analysis of functional data models using WinBUGS 1.4. The excellent properties of Bayesian analysis in this context are due to: (1) dimensionality reduction, which leads to low dimensional projection bases; (2) mixed model representation of functional models, which provides a modular approach to model extension; and (3) orthogonality of the principal component bases, which contributes to excellent chain convergence and mixing properties. Our paper provides one more, essential, reason for using Bayesian analysis for functional models: the existence of software.

Functional Regression

TL;DR: Functional data analysis (FDA) involves the analysis of data whose ideal units of observation are functions defined on some continuous domain, and the observed data consist of a sample of functions taken from some population, sampled on a discrete grid.

Functional mixed effects models

TL;DR: A new class of functional models in which smoothing splines are used to model fixed effects as well as random effects is introduced, which inherit the flexibility of the linear mixed effects models in handling complex designs and correlation structures.

Corrected confidence bands for functional data using principal components.

TL;DR: This article proposes a method for obtaining correct curve estimates by accounting for uncertainty in FPC decompositions, and applies this method to sparse observations of CD4 cell counts and to dense white-matter tract profiles.

Inference from Iterative Simulation Using Multiple Sequences

TL;DR: The focus is on applied inference for Bayesian posterior distributions in real problems, which often tend toward normal- ity after transformations and marginalization, and the results are derived as normal-theory approximations to exact Bayesian inference, conditional on the observed simulations.

TL;DR: In this article, a simple linear model is proposed to describe the geometry of linear models, and a general linear model specification in R is presented. But the theory of linear model theory is not discussed.
