Functional principal components analysis by smoothed covariance

Description

Decomposes functional observations using functional principal components analysis. A mixed model framework is used to estimate scores and obtain variance estimates.

Usage

fpca_sc(
  data,
  Y.pred = NULL,
  argvals = NULL,
  random.int = FALSE,
  nbasis = 10,
  pve = 0.99,
  npc = NULL,
  useSymm = FALSE,
  makePD = FALSE,
  center = TRUE,
  cov.est.method = 2,
  integration = "trapezoidal"
)

Arguments

data	a tf vector containing the functions to decompose using FPCA. Alternatively, a dataframe with arguments arg, value, id.
Y.pred	if desired, a matrix of functions to be approximated using the FPC decomposition.
argvals	the argument values of the function evaluations in data, defaults to a equidistant grid from 0 to 1.
random.int	If TRUE, the mean is estimated by gamm4::gamm4() with random intercepts. If FALSE (the default), the mean is estimated by mgcv::gam() treating all the data as independent.
nbasis	number of B-spline basis functions used for estimation of the mean function and bivariate smoothing of the covariance surface.
pve	proportion of variance explained: used to choose the number of principal components.
npc	prespecified value for the number of principal components (if given, this overrides pve).
useSymm	logical, indicating whether to smooth only the upper triangular part of the naive covariance (when cov.est.method==2). This can save computation time for large data sets, and allows for covariance surfaces that are very peaked on the diagonal.
makePD	logical: should positive definiteness be enforced for the covariance surface estimate?
center	logical: should an estimated mean function be subtracted from data? Set to FALSE if you have already demeaned the data using your favorite mean function estimate.
cov.est.method	covariance estimation method. If set to 1, a one-step method that applies a bivariate smooth to the y(s_1)y(s_2) values. This can be very slow. If set to 2 (the default), a two-step method that obtains a naive covariance estimate which is then smoothed.
integration	quadrature method for numerical integration; only 'trapezoidal' is currently supported.

Details

This function computes a FPC decomposition for a set of observed curves, which may be sparsely observed and/or measured with error. A mixed model framework is used to estimate curve-specific scores and variances.

FPCA via kernel smoothing of the covariance function, with the diagonal treated separately, was proposed in Staniswalis and Lee (1998) and much extended by Yao et al. (2005), who introduced the 'PACE' method. fpca.sc uses penalized splines to smooth the covariance function, as developed by Di et al. (2009) and Goldsmith et al. (2013).

Value

An object of class fpca containing:

Yhat	FPC approximation (projection onto leading components) of data.
scores	n \times npc matrix of estimated FPC scores.
mu	estimated mean function (or a vector of zeroes if center==FALSE).
efunctions	d \times npc matrix of estimated eigenfunctions of the functional covariance, i.e., the FPC basis functions.
evalues	estimated eigenvalues of the covariance operator, i.e., variances of FPC scores.
npc	number of FPCs: either the supplied npc, or the minimum number of basis functions needed to explain proportion pve of the variance in the observed curves.
argvals	argument values of eigenfunction evaluations
