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

Developmental Change in the Influence of Domain-General Abilities and Domain-Specific Knowledge on Mathematics Achievement: An Eight-Year Longitudinal Study.
TL;DR: Overall, domain-general abilities were more important than domain-specific knowledge for mathematics learning in early grades but general abilities and domain- specific knowledge were equally important in later grades.

Statistical Tools to Analyze Data Representing a Sample of Curves
Alois Kneip,Theo Gasser +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to synchronize the individual curves before determining the average or any further statistics, which leads to an average curve which represents the common structure with average dynamics and average intensity.

Alignment of curves by dynamic time warping
Kongming Wang,Theo Gasser +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for estimating the shift or warping function from one curve to another to align the two functions. But the method is not asymptotically normal and converges to the true shift function as the sample size goes to infinity.

Asymptotic Confidence Regions for Kernel Smoothing of a Varying-Coefficient Model With Longitudinal Data
TL;DR: In this paper, the estimation of the k + 1-dimensional nonparametric component β(t) of the varying-coefficient model was considered, and asymptotic distributions were established for a kernel estimate of β (t) that minimizes a local least squares criterion.

Principal components analysis of sampled functions

TL;DR: In this paper, the reproducing kernel for the Hilbert space of functions plays a central role, and defines the best interpolating functions, which are generalized spline functions, for principal component analysis of longitudinal data.
