Area of Science:

Statistics
Data Analysis

Background:

Functional principal component analysis (FPCA) is widely used to identify variations in curve data.
Interpreting the significance intervals of functional principal components (FPCs) can be challenging for users due to vague definitions.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel penalty-based method for deriving more interpretable FPCs.
To enhance the identification of significant variation intervals in functional data.

Main Methods:

A novel penalty-based approach was developed to derive FPCs.
An efficient algorithm utilizing projection deflation techniques was devised for computation.
Theoretical properties including consistency and asymptotic normality were established.

Main Results:

The proposed method yields FPCs that are non-zero exclusively within significant intervals, improving interpretability.
Simulation studies demonstrated competitive performance in explaining curve variations.
The new FPCs showed superior interpretability compared to traditional methods.

Conclusions:

The developed penalty-based FPCA method offers enhanced interpretability for identifying key variation patterns in functional data.
The method is validated through simulations and real-world data analysis, including electroencephalography and weather data.
