We propose an estimation approach to analyse correlated functional data which are observed on unequal grids or even sparsely. The model we use is a functional linear mixed model, a functional analogue of the linear mixed model. Estimation…

Accurately modeling the friction torque in robotic joints has long been challenging due to the request for a robust mathematical description. Traditional model-based approaches are often labor-intensive, requiring extensive experiments and…

Personalized medicine aims to tailor treatments to individual patients, especially when people respond heterogeneously to therapies. A key objective is to learn individualized treatment rules that recommend optimal treatments from patient…
