Estimation and inference in penalized function-on-function regression with dependent residual curves

Fabian Scheipl

Penalized function-on-function regression, as implemented in the R package refund, treats all grid values of all curves as independent. Residual curves are smooth, so values within…

Area-based epigraph and hypograph indices for functional outlier detection

Belen Pulido, Alba M. Franco-Pereira, Rosa E. Lillo +1

Detecting outliers in Functional Data Analysis is challenging because curves can stray from the majority in many different ways. The Modified Epigraph Index (MEI) and Modified Hypo…

DCSI -- An improved measure of cluster separability based on separation and connectedness

Jana Gauss, Fabian Scheipl, Moritz Herrmann

Whether class labels in a given data set correspond to meaningful clusters is crucial for the evaluation of clustering algorithms using real-world data sets. This property can be q…

A geometric framework for outlier detection in high-dimensional data

Moritz Herrmann, Florian Pfisterer, Fabian Scheipl

Outlier or anomaly detection is an important task in data analysis. We discuss the problem from a geometrical perspective and provide a framework that exploits the metric structure…

Enhancing cluster analysis via topological manifold learning

Moritz Herrmann, Daniyal Kazempour, Fabian Scheipl +1

We discuss topological aspects of cluster analysis and show that inferring the topological structure of a dataset before clustering it can considerably enhance cluster detection: t…

A geometric perspective on functional outlier detection

Moritz Herrmann, Fabian Scheipl

We consider functional outlier detection from a geometric perspective, specifically: for functional data sets drawn from a functional manifold which is defined by the data's modes…

Registration for Incomplete Non-Gaussian Functional Data

Alexander Bauer, Fabian Scheipl, Helmut Küchenhoff +1

Accounting for phase variability is a critical challenge in functional data analysis. To separate it from amplitude variation, functional data are registered, i.e., their observed…

Developing Open Source Educational Resources for Machine Learning and Data Science

Ludwig Bothmann, Sven Strickroth, Giuseppe Casalicchio +4

Education should not be a privilege but a common good. It should be openly accessible to everyone, with as few barriers as possible; even more so for key technologies such as Machi…

Multivariate Functional Additive Mixed Models

Alexander Volkmann, Almond Stöcker, Fabian Scheipl +1

Multivariate functional data can be intrinsically multivariate like movement trajectories in 2D or complementary like precipitation, temperature, and wind speeds over time at a giv…

Statistical Inference for Ordinal Predictors in Generalized Linear and Additive Models with Application to Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

Jan Gertheiss, Fabian Scheipl, Tina Lauer +1

Discrete but ordered covariates are quite common in applied statistics, and some regularized fitting procedures have been proposed for proper handling of ordinal predictors in stat…

Unsupervised Functional Data Analysis via Nonlinear Dimension Reduction

Moritz Herrmann, Fabian Scheipl

In recent years, manifold methods have moved into focus as tools for dimension reduction. Assuming that the high-dimensional data actually lie on or close to a low-dimensional nonl…

A General Machine Learning Framework for Survival Analysis

Andreas Bender, David Rügamer, Fabian Scheipl +1

The modeling of time-to-event data, also known as survival analysis, requires specialized methods that can deal with censoring and truncation, time-varying features and effects, an…

Benchmarking time series classification -- Functional data vs machine learning approaches

Florian Pfisterer, Laura Beggel, Xudong Sun +2

Time series classification problems have drawn increasing attention in the machine learning and statistical community. Closely related is the field of functional data analysis (FDA…

A General Framework for Multivariate Functional Principal Component Analysis of Amplitude and Phase Variation

Clara Happ, Fabian Scheipl, Alice-Agnes Gabriel +1

Functional data typically contains amplitude and phase variation. In many data situations, phase variation is treated as a nuisance effect and is removed during preprocessing, alth…

pammtools: Piece-wise exponential Additive Mixed Modeling tools

Johannes Piller, Fabian Scheipl, Philipp Kopper +1

Piecewise exponential additive mixed models (PAMMs) provide a flexible framework for analyzing censored and truncated time-to-event data, bridging classical hazard-based modeling w…

Fast symmetric additive covariance smoothing

Jona Cederbaum, Fabian Scheipl, Sonja Greven

We propose a fast bivariate smoothing approach for symmetric surfaces that has a wide range of applications. We show how it can be applied to estimate the covariance function in lo…

Generalized Functional Additive Mixed Models

Fabian Scheipl, Jan Gertheiss, Sonja Greven

We propose a comprehensive framework for additive regression models for non-Gaussian functional responses, allowing for multiple (partially) nested or crossed functional random eff…

Identifiability in penalized function-on-function regression models

Fabian Scheipl, Sonja Greven

Regression models with functional responses and covariates constitute a powerful and increasingly important model class. However, regression with functional data poses well known a…

Bayesian Functional Generalized Additive Models with Sparsely Observed Covariates

Mathew W. McLean, Fabian Scheipl, Giles Hooker +2

The functional generalized additive model (FGAM) was recently proposed in McLean et al. (2013) as a more flexible alternative to the common functional linear model (FLM) for regres…
