  • Constructing smooth trajectories using Best Linear Unbiased Predictor (BLUP) estimates.
  • Employing model selection criteria (AIC, BIC, cross-validation) for spline breakpoint selection.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed method yields a low-rank, low-frequency approximation to the covariance structure.
    • Individual smooth curves are estimated effectively by combining individual and collection data.
    • The framework facilitates the examination of covariate effects on curve shapes.
    • Model selection techniques effectively determine the optimal number of spline breakpoints.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed methodology offers a simple, flexible, and computationally efficient approach to functional data analysis.
    • It effectively models complex curve structures from irregularly sampled data.
    • The method provides a robust framework for understanding underlying data patterns and covariate influences.
