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

Bayesian semiparametric modelling of phase-varying point processes
TL;DR: In this paper, a Bayesian semiparametric approach for registration of multiple point processes is proposed, which involves modeling the mean measures of the phase-varying point processes with a Bernstein-Dirichlet prior, which induces a prior on the space of all warp functions.

Functional-Input Gaussian Processes with Applications to Inverse Scattering Problems
TL;DR: In this paper , a new class of kernel functions for functional inputs is introduced for GPs, and the asymptotic convergence properties of the resulting mean squared prediction errors are derived.

Non-asymptotic Optimal Prediction Error for RKHS-based Partially Functional Linear Models
Xiaoyu Lei,Huiming Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: A new finding implies a trade-off between the number of non-functional predictors and the effective dimension of the kernel principal components to ensure the prediction consistency in the increasing-dimensional setting.

TL;DR: It is concluded that in an old age and high T2D-risk population, a diet rich in quinoa reduces postprandial glycemia and could be a promising T1D-preventive strategy.

Benefits of functional PCA in the analysis of single-trial auditory evoked potentials
TL;DR: The functional principal component analysis is concluded to be capable of differentiating between the controls and salicylate treatments for each type of sound, and well separates the response function for tones and clicks.

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.
