Course objectives
Introduction to the analysis of data that may be considered to be smooth functions. This class will focus on the application of functional data analysis techniques to real-world problems and is not intended to be mathematically technical. Main topics: visualization and data exploration, nonparametric smoothing, functional linear models, functional principal components analysis, analysis involving derivatives, registration.
Learning outcomes
On the completion of this course, the student is expected to obtain sufficient mastery of the application of functional data analysis techniques to real-world problems; to model functional data in practical examples; be able to interpret obtained results.
Syllabus
  • Introduction to functional data analysis (FDA); various types of analysed data; ''fda´´ package in R. Transformation to the functional form; several types of basis systems; smoothing techniques, cross-validation; constrained smoothing. Exploratory functional data analysis; functional characteristics; functional principal component analysis. Introduction to discriminant analysis; analysis of sparse (longitudinal) data. Functional linear models; several types of response; nonparametric functional regression. Registration.
