Principal Components Analysis for Irregular Data 1: ETH Zurich, Switzerland; 2: EPFL, Switzerland Functional principal component analysis (FPCA) is a fundamental tool for exploring variation in samples of random curves or surfaces. We propose a new approach to FPCA for functional data observed irregularly and sparsely over their domains, based on smoothing directly at the level of the eigenfunctions. Our formulation leads to an efficient optimization-based procedure whose computational and storage costs are comparable to those of standard multivariate PCA for regularly observed data. The method is flexible with respect to domain geometry and model class, accommodates structural constraints and penalties, and facilitates uncertainty quantification via resampling and asymptotic theory. | |
