Multivariate functional principal component analysis (MFPCA) is a powerful dimension reduction technique for analyzing multiple functional variables simultaneously. However, existing MFPCA methods assume that all functional observations are…

Classical multivariate principal component analysis has been extended to functional data and termed functional principal component analysis (FPCA). Most existing FPCA approaches do not accommodate covariate information, and it is the goal…
