This study reviews functional mixed effects models, a powerful tool for analyzing curve data in longitudinal studies. These models extend traditional methods and can be implemented using readily available statistical software.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Biostatistics
  • Data Science

Background:

  • Experimental data often appear as curves, necessitating specialized analytical approaches.
  • Functional data analysis (FDA) treats curves as basic units for analysis.
  • FDA extends classical linear and linear mixed effects models for longitudinal data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review functional mixed effects models, a generalization of functional linear models.
  • To highlight the use of smoothing splines within this framework.
  • To demonstrate the applicability of these models in analyzing curve data.

Main Methods:

  • Focus on functional mixed effects models utilizing smoothing splines.
  • Leverage the connection between smoothing splines and linear mixed effects models.

  • Utilize existing statistical software (e.g., SAS Proc Mixed) for model fitting.

    • Main Results:

    • Functional linear models are shown to be special cases of functional mixed effects models.
    • The described models offer a flexible framework for analyzing complex curve data.
    • A case study illustrates the practical application and interpretation of the models.

    Conclusions:

    • Functional mixed effects models provide a robust framework for analyzing longitudinal curve data.
    • The use of smoothing splines simplifies model implementation with existing software.
    • These advanced statistical techniques enhance the understanding of experimental data arising as curves.
