Model-based curve registration via stochastic approximation EM algorithm (1712.07265v2)

Published 19 Dec 2017 in stat.ME

Abstract: Functional data often exhibit both amplitude and phase variation around a common base shape, with phase variation represented by a so called warping function. The process removing phase variation by curve alignment and inference of the warping functions is referred to as curve registration. When functional data are observed with substantial noise, model-based methods can be employed for simultaneous smoothing and curve registration. However, the nonlinearity of the model often renders the inference computationally challenging. In this paper, we propose an alternative method for model-based curve registration which is computationally more stable and efficient than existing approaches in the literature. We apply our method to the analysis of elephant seal dive profiles and show that more intuitive groupings can be obtained by clustering on phase variations via the predicted warping functions.
