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

Fusion Strategies for Learning User Embeddings with Neural Networks
TL;DR: Surprisingly, it is found that prediction performance not necessarily reflects embedding quality, which suggests that if embeddings are of interest, the common tendency to select models based on their prediction ability should be reconsidered.

Multivariate Functional Regression via Nested Reduced-Rank Regularization
Xiaokang Liu,Shujie Ma,Kun Chen +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, a nested reduced-rank regression (NRRR) approach is proposed for fitting regression model with multivariate functional responses and predictors, to achieve tailored dimension reduction and facilitate interpretation/visualization of the resulting functional model.
Learning linear operators: Infinite-dimensional regression as a well-behaved non-compact inverse problem
TL;DR: In this paper , the problem of learning a linear operator between two Hilbert spaces from empirical observations, which we interpret as least squares regression in infinite dimensions, is reformulated as an inverse problem for $\theta$ with the undesirable feature that its forward operator is generally non-compact.

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.
