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

Scalable regression calibration approaches to correcting measurement error in multi-level generalized functional linear regression models with heteroscedastic measurement errors
TL;DR: In this paper , two regression calibration methods for correcting measurement error in longitudinal functional curves prone to complex measurement error structures in multi-level generalized functional linear regression models are presented. But these methods are based on two-stage scalable regression calibration, and they assume that the distribution of the scalar responses and the surrogate measures prone to heteroscedastic errors both belong in the exponential family and follow Gaussian processes.

Stochastic functional linear models and Malliavin calculus
Ruzong Fan,Hong Bin Fang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors study stochastic functional linear models (SFLM) driven by an underlying SFLM which is generated by a standard Brownian motion and show that the fourth moments of linear functionals are bounded by the square of their second moments when X(t) is a linear combination of multiple Ito integrals.

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.
