Persian Handwriting Analysis Using Functional Principal Components
Authors
Abstract:
Principal components analysis is a well-known statistical method in dealing with large dependent data sets. It is also used in functional data for both purposes of data reduction as well as variation representation. On the other hand "handwriting" is one of the objects, studied in various statistical fields like pattern recognition and shape analysis. Considering time as the argument, the handwriting would be an infinite dimensional data; a functional object. In this paper we try to use the functional principal components analysis (FPCA) to the Persian handwriting data, analyzing the word Mehr which is the Persian term for Love.

Functional Analysis of Iranian Temperature and Precipitation by Using Functional Principal Components Analysis
Extended Abstract. When data are in the form of continuous functions, they may challenge classical methods of data analysis based on arguments in finite dimensional spaces, and therefore need theoretical justification. Infinite dimensionality of spaces that data belong to, leads to major statistical methodologies and new insights for analyzing them, which is called functional data analysis (FDA...
full textConditional functional principal components analysis
This work proposes an extension of the functional principal components analysis, or Karhunen-Loève expansion, which can take into account non-parametrically the effects of an additional covariate. Such models can also be interpreted as non-parametric mixed effects models for functional data. We propose estimators based on kernel smoothers and a data-driven selection procedure of the smoothing p...

We propose a novel method for estimating population-level and subject-specific effects of covariates on the variability of functional data. We extend the functional principal components analysis framework by modeling the variance of principal component scores as a function of covariates and subject-specific random effects. In a setting where principal components are largely invariant across sub...
full textDynamic Functional Principal Components
In this paper, we address the problem of dimension reduction for sequentially observed functional data (X k : k ∈ Z). Such functional time series arise frequently, e.g., when a continuous time process is segmented into some smaller natural units, such as days. Then each X k represents one intraday curve. We argue that functional principal component analysis (FPCA), though a key technique in the...

In this article we consider the sequences of sample and population covariance operators for a sequence of arrays of Hilbertian random elements. Then under the assumptions that sequences of the covariance operators norm are uniformly bounded and the sequences of the principal component scores are uniformly sumable, we prove that the convergence of the sequences of covariance operators would impl...
full textContent Analysis of Video Using Principal Components
We use principal component analysis (PCA) to reduce the dimensionality of features of video frames for the purpose of content description. This low dimensional description makes practical the direct use of all the frames of a video sequence in later analysis. The PCA representation circumvents or eliminates several of the stumbling blocks in current analysis methods, and makes new analyses feas...
