cor.fd

Correlation matrix from functional data object(s)


Description

Compute a correlation matrix for one or two functional data objects.

Usage

cor.fd(evalarg1, fdobj1, evalarg2=evalarg1, fdobj2=fdobj1)

Arguments

evalarg1

a vector of argument values for fdobj1.

evalarg2

a vector of argument values for fdobj2.

fdobj1, fdobj2

functional data objects

Details

1. var1 <- var.fd(fdobj1)

2. evalVar1 <- eval.bifd(evalarg1, evalarg1, var1)

3. if(missing(fdobj2)) Convert evalVar1 to correlations

4. else:

4.1. var2 <- var.fd(fdobj2)

4.2. evalVar2 <- eval.bifd(evalarg2, evalarg2, var2)

4.3. var12 <- var.df(fdobj1, fdobj2)

4.4. evalVar12 <- eval.bifd(evalarg1, evalarg2, var12)

4.5. Convert evalVar12 to correlations

Value

A matrix or array:

With one or two functional data objects, fdobj1 and possibly fdobj2, the value is a matrix of dimensions length(evalarg1) by length(evalarg2) giving the correlations at those points of fdobj1 if missing(fdobj2) or of correlations between eval.fd(evalarg1, fdobj1) and eval.fd(evalarg2, fdobj2).

With a single multivariate data object with k variables, the value is a 4-dimensional array of dim = c(nPts, nPts, 1, choose(k+1, 2)), where nPts = length(evalarg1).
