Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Biostatistics
  • Data Science

Background:

  • Analyzing functional data with multiple levels (subjects, weeks, days) presents statistical challenges.
  • Incomplete data is common in longitudinal studies, complicating treatment effect assessment.
  • Existing models may not adequately capture the complex structure of physical activity data over time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a flexible statistical model for assessing treatment effects in 3-level functional data.
  • To handle incomplete data and complex random effects structures.
  • To apply and evaluate the model for physical activity intervention studies.

Main Methods:

  • A 3-level mixed-effects model with smooth curves for mean and random effects.
  • Utilized penalized splines for curve modeling and principal component analysis for association structure.
  • Employed an Expectation/Conditional Maximization Either (ECME) algorithm with eigenvalue decomposition for fitting.

Main Results:

  • The proposed model successfully fits complex, multi-level functional data, including cases with missing values.
  • The statistical framework allows for robust inference on treatment effects.
  • Empirical evaluation through a simulation study demonstrated the method's performance.

Conclusions:

  • The developed statistical model provides a powerful tool for analyzing multi-level functional data in health and exercise science.
  • It effectively addresses challenges posed by incomplete data and intricate data structures.
  • The approach offers a reliable method for assessing intervention effects in physical activity research.
