Description
Independent Components Analysis Techniques for Functional Data.
Description
Performs smoothed (and non-smoothed) principal/independent components analysis of functional data. Various functional pre-whitening approaches are implemented as discussed in Vidal and Aguilera (2022) “Novel whitening approaches in functional settings", <doi:10.1002/sta4.516>. Further whitening representations of functional data can be derived in terms of a few principal components, providing an avenue to explore hidden structures in low dimensional settings: see Vidal, Rosso and Aguilera (2021) “Bi-smoothed functional independent component analysis for EEG artifact removal”, <doi:10.3390/math9111243>.
