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

Inference for Sparse and Dense Functional Data with Covariate Adjustments
TL;DR: Theoretical results demonstrate that the existing asymptotic normality results can lead to severely misleading inferences in finite samples and propose finite-sample corrections which provide practically useful approximations for inference in sparse and dense data scenarios.

Brief Review of Functional Data Analysis: A Case Study on Regional Demographic and Economic Data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the general techniques used in functional data analysis and some relevant studies performed with data from Ecuador and carry out an exploratory analysis with FPCA, functional clustering and PCA on data sets considering fertility, infant mortality, life expectancy, MPI, HDI and GDP growth indexes.

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.

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.
