Abstract:

Functional data is becoming increasingly common in health research. As a key technique for such data, functional principal component analysis (FPCA) was designed for a sample of independent functions. In this talk, we extend the scope of FPCA to multilevel and multivariate functional data. We exploit the hierarchical structure of covariance operators at between and within subject levels, and extract dominating modes of variations at each level. The decomposition also allows us to investigate within subject functional correlations. Our approach is motivated by a few applications including the Sleep Heart Health Study.
