Is there a recommended resources for selecting approaches? 44:40 - Can you define "functional" as it is used in the FDA context? 49:30 - Functional regression 58:50 - Alternative modeling approaches Abstract: The primary purpose of this presentation is to continue the introduction of functional data analysis methods that was kicked-off during the March RStudio Energy Meetup by Santiago Rodriguez. During that session’s Q&A, two specific methods were frequently mentioned: Functional Principal Components Analysis (FPCA) and Functional Regression. In this talk, both methods are introduced in more detail, applied to a simulated example from the chemical industry, and compared to their univariate/multivariate analogues. Though no code will be shown in the presentation, commented R code used to produce all data, analyses, and figures will be provided.
