Functional Data Analysis and Its Applications

Arizona State University, Fall 2022, Fall 2024
STP 598 Analysis of Longitudinal Data
Guest Speaker
Lecture slides; R Demo Code

This lecture introduce Functional Data Analysis (FDA) with real-world examples. Techniques in FDA such as Functional Principal Component Analysis are discussed. Applications of FDA in R are demonstrated with the accompanied code scripts. Finally, comparisons between classical longitudinal data models and FDA are drawn and extensions to other issues in FDA are addressed.
