In many real-world applications, functional data exhibit considerable variability in both amplitude and phase. This is especially true in biomechanical data such as the knee flexion angle dataset motivating our work, where timing…
Accounting for phase variability is a critical challenge in functional data analysis. To separate it from amplitude variation, functional data are registered, i.e., their observed domains are deformed elastically so that the resulting…
We establish a general form of explicit, input-dependent, measure-valued warpings for learning nonstationary kernels. While stationary kernels are ubiquitous and simple to use, they struggle to adapt to functions that vary in smoothness…

We consider functional data where an underlying smooth curve is composed not just with errors, but also with irregular spikes. We propose an approach that, combining regularized spline smoothing and an Expectation-Maximization algorithm,…
Functional data analysis almost always involves smoothing discrete observations into curves, because they are never observed in continuous time and rarely without error. Although smoothing parameters affect the subsequent inference,…
