Get Multivariate Functional Data from a list of matrices

get_mfd_list(
data_list,
grid = NULL,
n_basis = 30,
lambda = NULL,
lambda_grid = 10^seq(-10, 1, length.out = 10),
ncores = 1
)

## Arguments

data_list

A named list of matrices. Names of the elements in the list denote the functional variable names. Each matrix in the list corresponds to a functional variable. All matrices must have the same dimension, where the number of rows corresponds to replications, while the number of columns corresponds to the argument values at which functions are evaluated.

grid

A numeric vector, containing the argument values at which functions are evaluated. Its length must be equal to the number of columns in each matrix in data_list. Default is NULL, in this case a vector equally spaced numbers between 0 and 1 is created, with as many numbers as the number of columns in each matrix in data_list.

n_basis

An integer variable specifying the number of basis functions; default value is 30. See details on basis functions.

lambda

A non-negative real number. If you want to use a single specified smoothing parameter for all functional data objects in the dataset, this argument is passed to the function fda::fdPar. Default value is NULL, in this case the smoothing parameter is chosen by minimizing the generalized cross-validation (GCV) criterion over the grid of values given by the argument. See details on how smoothing parameters work.

lambda_grid

A vector of non-negative real numbers. If lambda is provided as a single number, this argument is ignored. If lambda is NULL, then this provides the grid of values over which the optimal smoothing parameter is searched. Default value is 10^seq(-10,1,l=20).

ncores

Deprecated.

## Value

An object of class mfd. See also mfd for additional details on the multivariate functional data class.

## Details

Basis functions are created with fda::create.bspline.basis(domain, n_basis), i.e. B-spline basis functions of order 4 with equally spaced knots are used to create mfd objects.

The smoothing penalty lambda is provided as fda::fdPar(bs, 2, lambda), where bs is the basis object and 2 indicates that the integrated squared second derivative is penalized.

Rather than having a list of matrices, you may have a data frame with long format, i.e. with all functional observations in a single column for each functional variable. In this case, see get_mfd_df.
