Functional Data Analysis
for Speech Research

The reference literature on FDA by J. O. Ramsay and colleagues is of excellent quality. However it requires some knowledge of linear algebra, calculus and statistics.

• J. O. Ramsay and B. W. Silverman, Functional Data Analysis - 2nd Ed. Springer, 2005.
• J. O. Ramsay and B. W. Silverman, Applied Functional Data Analysis - Methods and Case Studies, Springer, 2002.
• J. O. Ramsay, G. Hookers, and S. Graves, Functional Data Analysis with R and MATLAB. Springer, 2009.

J. O. Ramsay and colleagues maintain a 'bilingual' software package! The same excellent software toolkit for FDA is freely available in two versions:

• R version
• MATLAB version
