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

A Visual Analytics Framework for Reviewing Multivariate Time-Series Data with Dimensionality Reduction
TL;DR: MulTiDR is presented, a new DR framework that enables processing of time-dependent multivariate data as a whole to provide a comprehensive overview of the data and enhances analysts' ability to interpret DR results.

Subgroup analysis for functional partial linear regression model
TL;DR: In this article , a subgroup analysis based on the FPLR model is proposed, which allows the intercepts to vary for different subgroups from a heterogeneous population, by projecting the functional predictors onto the corresponding eigenspace.

Optimal estimation in functional linear regression for sparse noise‐contaminated data
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a regularization method over a reproducing kernel Hilbert space to estimate the covariance and the cross-covariance functions, which is used to obtain estimates of the regression coefficient function and of the functional singular components.

Individual differences in vocal size exaggeration
TL;DR: This paper analyzed the veridical size of speakers' vocal tracts using real-time magnetic resonance imaging as they volitionally modulated their voice to sound larger or smaller, corresponding changes to the size implied by the acoustics of their voice, and their influence over the perceptions of listeners.

Event-Driven ECG Classification using Functional Approximation and Chebyshev Polynomials
TL;DR: In this paper , the first 81 coefficients of a Chebyshev polynomial expansion of the ECG beat are used as the feature set input to a simple three-layered ANN binary (Normal / Abnormal) ECG classifier and demonstrate 98.15% average accuracy and 96.07% average sensitivity.

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.
