Working with and Analyzing Functional Data of Varying Lengths
Overview
Comprehensive set of tools for analyzing and manipulating functional data with non-uniform lengths. This package addresses two common scenarios in functional data analysis: Variable Domain Data, where the observation domain differs across samples, and Partially Observed Data, where observations are incomplete over the domain of interest. 'VDPO' enhances the flexibility and applicability of functional data analysis in 'R'. See Amaro et al. (2024) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2401.05839, Hernandez-Amaro et al. (2025) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2510.26917, and Hernandez-Amaro et al. (2026) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2605.03633.
- Added support for partially observed functional data. This includes the new functions
ffpo()andffpo_2d()for defining partially observed functional terms in model formulae,po_fit()andpo_2d_fit()for fitting the corresponding regression models, and the data generatorsdata_generator_po_1d()anddata_generator_po_2d(). po_fit()andpo_2d_fit()now return the estimated functional coefficient together with its pointwise confidence intervals.- Added
mfpca_vd(), a multivariate functional principal component analysis for variable domain data, together with aplot()method for the estimated eigenfunctions and scores. - Added vignettes for the partially observed models and for the variable domain multivariate functional principal component analysis.

- Completed the documentation and added runnable examples for the new functions.
- Fixed a bug in
plot_ci()where the input object was referenced through the wrong variable, causing the function to error before producing a plot.
