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...

Learning delay dynamics for multivariate stochastic processes, with application to the prediction of the growth rate of COVID-19 cases in the United States.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a functional data analysis framework to learn the model parameters that govern the underlying dynamics from the data and showed the existence and uniqueness of the analytical solutions of the population delay random differential equation model when one has discrete time delays in the functional concurrent regression model and also for a second scenario where one has a delay continuum or distributed delay.

Recurrent event analysis in the presence of real-time high frequency data via random subsampling

TL;DR: A random subsampling framework is proposed for computationally prohibitive, approximate likelihood-based estimation of suicide ideation outcomes using data from a digital monitoring study of suicidal ideation.

Wasserstein Distributional Learning

TL;DR: Compared with methods in the previous literature, WDL better characterizes and uncovers the nonlinear dependence of the conditional densities, and their derived summary statistics, and the effectiveness of the WDL framework is demonstrated through simulations and real-world applications.

Multivariate analysis of milk metabolite measures shows potential for deriving new resilience phenotypes.

TL;DR: In this article , a 2-d underfeeding challenge was conducted on 138 one-year-old primiparous goats, selected for extreme functional longevity, i.e., productive longevity corrected for milk yield (60 low longevity line goats (Low LGV), and 78 high LGV) during early lactation.

Nonlinear dimensionality reduction by locally linear embedding.

TL;DR: Locally linear embedding (LLE) is introduced, an unsupervised learning algorithm that computes low-dimensional, neighborhood-preserving embeddings of high-dimensional inputs that learns the global structure of nonlinear manifolds.

A global geometric framework for nonlinear dimensionality reduction.

TL;DR: An approach to solving dimensionality reduction problems that uses easily measured local metric information to learn the underlying global geometry of a data set and efficiently computes a globally optimal solution, and is guaranteed to converge asymptotically to the true structure.

Dynamic programming algorithm optimization for spoken word recognition

TL;DR: This paper reports on an optimum dynamic progxamming (DP) based time-normalization algorithm for spoken word recognition, in which the warping function slope is restricted so as to improve discrimination between words in different categories.

Generalized Additive Models

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.
