Bayesian Multivariate Sparse Functional Principal Components Analysis

Joseph Sartini, Scott Zeger, Ciprian Crainiceanu

Functional Principal Components Analysis (FPCA) provides a parsimonious, semi-parametric model for multivariate, sparsely-observed functional data. Frequentist FPCA approaches esti…

Sufficient conditions for proper posteriors in fully-Bayesian Functional PCA

Joseph Sartini, Scott Zeger, Ciprian Crainiceanu

In a fully-Bayesian Functional Principal Components Analysis (FPCA) the principal components are treated as unknown infinite-dimensional parameters. By projecting the functional pr…

Functional Moments Regression

Mingyuan Li, Martin A. Lindquist, Edward Gunning +1

The Gaussian Process (GP) assumption is often used in functional data analysis. We propose a method to assess departures from the GP assumption, both in terms of the shape of the d…

Walking Fingerprinting Using Wrist Accelerometry During Activities of Daily Living in NHANES

Lily Koffman, John Muschelli, Ciprian Crainiceanu

We propose a method for identifying individuals based on their continuously monitored wrist-worn accelerometry during activities of daily living. The method consists of three steps…
