This web page contains links to individual pages for
each chapter in the book. The web page for each chapter
contains links to some or all of the following:
Some of
the MATLAB analyses make use of a package developed by Jim Ramsay, available
from a separate web site; click here for details.
Chapter 1: Introduction
General
introduction to FDA with examples of the types of problem discussed later in
the book.
Chapter 2: Life
Course Data in Criminology
Turning
discrete observations into functional data; regularization for estimating mean
function from very noisy data; smoothed functional PCA; calculations involving
basis expansions.
Chapter 3: The
Nondurable Goods Index
Seasonal
variation in a long time series; the phase-plane plot and its interpetation;
plotting changes in seasonal variation using phase-plane plots.
Chapter 4: Bone
Shapes from a Paleopathology Study
Characterizing
functional data through landmarks; using functional PCA to pick out modes of
variability; visualizing results of a functional PCA by plotting mean perturbed
by components weight functions; varimax rotation of components; study of data
by analysis of the individual PC scores.
Chapter 5: Modeling
Reaction Time Distributions
Functional
models for density functions; PCA of densities.
Chapter 6: Zooming
in on Human Growth
Growth
as a monotonic process; a differential equation for growth; phase and amplitude
variation and the need for registration.
Chapter 7: Time
Warping Handwriting and Weather Records
Two
examples of registration; registering sample curves to their mean; registering
a single long time series to its seasonal variation.
Chapter 8: How do
Bone Shapes Indicate Arthritis?
Parametrizing
shapes when there are no landmarks; PCA of vector functions; functional
discriminant analysis and the necessity of regularization.
Chapter 9: Functional
Models for Test Items
Using
FDA in a latent trait model for binary data; the item response and log
odds-ratio functions; PCA of items; assessing test fairness; arc length measure
of ability
Chapter 10: Predicting
Lip Acceleration from Electromyography
A
feed-forward or historical linear model.
Chapter 11: The
Dynamics of Handwriting Printed Characters
Use
differential equation modeling on handwriting data. Use this to illustrate what
d. e. models are at all. PDA. Classification using PDA.
Chapter 12: A
Differential Equation for Juggling
A
differential equation as a model for functional data; plotting the results.

The analyses and programs are intended to provide background for the published book
and to illustrate ways that the various methods might be implemented in a
particular case. They are not in any sense a general "package" to be
applied blindly.
