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

Functional Subspace Clustering with Application to Time Series
TL;DR: Experimental results show that FSC outperforms both standard time series clustering and state-of-the-art subspace clustering, and theoretical guarantees for FSC are provided and it can be applied to time series with warped alignments.

Procrustes Metrics on Covariance Operators and Optimal Transportation of Gaussian Processes
TL;DR: The manifold-like geometry of the space of trace-class infinite-dimensional covariance operators and associated key statistical properties, under the recently proposed infinite dimensional version of the Procrustes metric, is described in this paper.

Grouped functional time series forecasting: An application to age-specific mortality rates
Han Lin Shang,Rob J. Hyndman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a bootstrap method for reconciling interval forecasts of independent and grouped functional time series forecasting methods for age-specific mortality rates at the national and sub-national levels.

On the Use of Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Spaces in Functional Classification
TL;DR: In this paper, the Hajek-Feldman dichotomy was used to show that two Gaussian measures are either mutually absolutely continuous with respect to each other (and hence there is a Radon-Nikodym density for each measure) or not.

TL;DR: It emerges that a country’s trajectory during an initial first month “priming period” largely determines how the situation unfolds subsequently and a method for forecasting case counts is proposed, which takes advantage of the common, latent information in the entire sample of curves.

Nonlinear dimensionality reduction by locally linear embedding.

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.
