Functional Data Analysis
TLDR
In this article, the authors provide an overview of FDA, starting with simple statistical notions such as mean and covariance functions, then covering some core techniques, the most popular of which is functional principal component analysis (FPCA).Abstract:
With the advance of modern technology, more and more data are being recorded continuously during a time interval or intermittently at several discrete time points. These are both examples of functional data, which has become a commonly encountered type of data. Functional data analysis (FDA) encompasses the statistical methodology for such data. Broadly interpreted, FDA deals with the analysis and theory of data that are in the form of functions. This paper provides an overview of FDA, starting with simple statistical notions such as mean and covariance functions, then covering some core techniques, the most popular of which is functional principal component analysis (FPCA). FPCA is an important dimension reduction tool, and in sparse data situations it can be used to impute functional data that are sparsely observed. Other dimension reduction approaches are also discussed. In addition, we review another core technique, functional linear regression, as well as clustering and classification of functional d...read more

Portraying the life cycle of ideas in social psychology through functional (textual) data analysis: a toolkit for digital history
TL;DR: In this paper , a method for the digital history of a discipline (social psychology in this application) through the analysis of scientific publications is presented, where the titles of a comprehensive set of papers published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (1965-2021) were collected, yielding a total of 10,222 items.

Dongyi Wei,Fang Yao +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a unified theory for perturbation analysis of covariance operator for diverging number of eigen components obtained from noisy and discretely observed data is established, and the convergence rate of estimated eigen functions is shown to transition from nonparametric to parametric regimes with sparse or dense sampling.
Summary characteristics for multivariate function-valued spatial point process attributes
TL;DR: In this article , the authors extend current existing first-and second-order summary characteristics for real-valued point attributes to the case where in addition to every spatial point location a set of distinct function-valued quantities are available.

On function-on-scalar quantile regression
TL;DR: In this article, a distributed strategy was proposed to perform function-on-scalar quantile regression, which can provide a comprehensive understanding of how scalar predictors influence the conditional distribution of functional responses.

Generalized Additive Models
Trevor Hastie,Robert Tibshirani +1 more
TL;DR: The class of generalized additive models is introduced, which replaces the linear form E fjXj by a sum of smooth functions E sj(Xj), and has the advantage of being completely auto- matic, i.e., no "detective work" is needed on the part of the statistician.
