Functional Data Analysis with R and MATLAB (use R).pdf
This contribution to the useR! series by Springer is designed to show newcomers
how to do functional data analysis in the two popular languages, Matlab and R. We
hope that this book will substantially reduce the time and effort required to use these
techniques to gain valuable insights in a wide variety of applications.
We also hope that the practical examples in this book will make this learning
process fun, interesting and memorable. We have tried to choose rich, real-world
problems where the optimal analysis has yet to be performed. We have found that
applying a spectrum of methods provides more insight than any single approach by
itself. Experimenting with graphics and other displays of results is essential.
