Contributors, developers and maintainers include Kehui Chen, Andrea Gottlieb, Matt Yang, Shuang Wu, Wenwen Tao, Xiaoke Zhang, Andrew Farris, Jinjiang He, Cong Xu, Rona Tang, Wenjing Yang, Jeng-Min Chiou and Joel Dubin, and since 2017 also Xiongtao Dai, Alexander Petersen and Jianing Fan.

PACE 2.17 includes the following options for Functional Data Analysis. Numbers [1], [2] etc. refer to the references listed below.

(1) Fitting of both sparsely and densely sampled random functions from noisy measurements by Functional Principal Component Analysis (FPCA), including Spaghetti plots to view the sample of functions (PACE) [1] [2] [5] [10]

(2) Fitting of derivatives for Empirical Dynamics for both sparsely and densely sampled random functions (PACE-DER) [17] [20]

(3) Functional linear regression, fitting functional linear regression models for both sparsely or densely sampled random trajectories, for cases where the predictor is a random function and the response is a scalar or a random function (PACE-REG) [3] [13]

(4) Diagnostics and bootstrap inference for functional linear regression (PACE-REG) [9]

(5) Functional regression models where the responses are random curves and the predictors are covariate vectors by regressing the response principal components on the predictors by separate single index models, which are fitted by semiparametric quasi-likelihood Regression, using the SPQR algorithm (PACE-FQR) [21] [22] [23]

(6) Response-adaptive regression (RARE) for the case where both responses and predictors are sparsely sampled random trajectories (PACE-RARE). A version of RARE is also provided for an alternative implementation of FPCA with mean and covariance updating [25]

(7) Assessing functional dependence and functional correlation for multivariate functional observations through functional singular value decomposition (PACE-SVD) [26]

(8) Generalized functional linear regression (GFLM), where the response is a scalar generalized variable such as binary or Poisson, can also be used for classification of functional data via binary regression (PACE-GLM) [4] [5] [7]

(9) Functional quadratic and polynomial regression (PACE-QuadReg) for functional predictors and scalar responses [19]

(10) Functional Additive Modeling (FAM), an additive generalization of functional linear regression, for more flexible functional regression modeling, for the case of functional predictors and both functional and scalar responses (PACE-FAM) [12]

(11) Modeling longitudinal data with repeated generalized responses (binary, Poisson etc.), which are derived from a latent Gaussian process by a link function (PACE-GRM) [11]

(12) The functional variance process, a generalization of variance functions useful for functional volatility modeling (PACE-FVP) [6]

(13) Time-synchronization based on pairwise warping (alignment, registration) for both sparsely and densely sampled functions (PACE-WARP) [8] [15] [16]

(14) Generalized functional distances for sparsely sampled functional data, which can be used for functional clustering and other distance-based applications (PACE) [14]

(15) Transfer functions for dynamic modeling and fitting of a first order stochastic differential equation with smooth drift process to implement empirical dynamics (PACE-DYN) with subpackage DiffEq [18] [20]

(16) Dynamical correlation, a correlation measure for repeatedly observed pairs of random functions (PACE-dynCorr) [27]

(17) Functional quantile regression, i.e., quantile regression for scalar responses and functional predictors, e.g. for functional median regression (PACE-Quantile) [28]

(18) Stringing: Reordering the components of high-dimensional vector data by MDS, thus transforming the high-dimensional vectors into functional data (PACE-Stringing) [29]

(19) Nonlinear dimension reduction, especially for time-warped functional data, via ISOMAP or Penalized-ISOMAP, using geodesic distances and multidimensional scaling techniques (PACE-Mani) [30]

(20) Volatility: model volatility trajectories for high frequency observations in financial markets. (PACE-Fvola) [6] [31]

(21) Covariate adjusted FPCA for longitudinal data: perform two methods to accommodate covariate information in FPCA (CaFPCA, standalone package) [32]

(22) Functional single index models for longitudinal data: perform a new single-index model that reflects the time-dynamic effects of the single index for longitudinal and functional response data. (FSIM, standalone package) [33]
