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

Estimation on semi-functional linear errors-in-variables models
TL;DR: In this paper, the estimation of semi-functional linear regression models is discussed when function-valued and real-valued random variables are all measured with additive random variables, and their estimation is discussed in practice.

Homogeneity test for functional data based on depth-depth plots
TL;DR: In this paper, a homogeneity test based on data depth plots (DD-plot) is proposed, which is a generalization of the univariate Q-Q plot (quantile-quantile plot).

Modelling time-varying covariates effect on survival via functional data analysis: application to the MRC BO06 trial in osteosarcoma
TL;DR: In this paper , a functional covariate Cox model (funCM) is proposed to study the association between time-varying processes and a time-to-event outcome, which can detect differences between patients with different biomarkers and treatment evolutions.

Estimating functional single index models with compact support
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed a functional single index model with a subregion, in which the functional predictor always has a nonzero effect on the response all the time, and they also proposed an efficient method that can simultaneously estimate the nonlinear link function, the coefficient function and also the nonzero region of the coefficient functions.

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.
