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

Associating Growth in Infancy and Cognitive Performance in Early Childhood: A functional data analysis approach
Pantelis Z. Hadjipantelis,Kyunghee Han,Jane-Ling Wang,Seungmi Yang,Richard M. Martin,Michael S. Kramer,Emily Oken,Hans-Georg Müller +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-parametric functional response model was used to assess physical growth curves and detect if particular infancy growth patterns are associated with differences in IQ (Full-scale WASI scores) in later ages.

Functional Mixtures-of-Experts
TL;DR: A new family of functional ME (FME) models are presented, in which the predictors are potentially noisy observations, from entire functions, and the data generating process of the pair predictor and the real response, is governed by a hidden discrete variable representing an unknown partition, leading to complex situations to which the standard ME framework is not adapted.

Invariant tests for functional data with application to an earthquake impact study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed new tests with several invariant properties for functional data, motivated by an earthquake impact study, and showed that both the local and global mfANOVA test statistics are location, scale and translation invariant, allow interchanging the order of smoothing and ANOVA projection, and have asymptotic F -distributions under the null hypotheses with the Gaussian assumption.

Unified statistical inference for a novel nonlinear dynamic functional/longitudinal data model
Lixia Hu,Tao Huang,Jinhong You +2 more
TL;DR: The asymptotic theories of the resultant Pilot Estimation Based Local Linear Estimators (PEBLLE) on a unified framework of sparse, dense and ultra-dense cases of the data are established and unified consistent tests to justify whether a parsimony submodel is sufficient or not are constructed.

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.
