Inference and Prediction Using Functional Principal Components Analysis: Application to Diabetic Kidney Disease Progression in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Repeated longitudinal measurements are commonly used to model long-term disease progression, and timing and number of assessments per patient may vary, leading to irregularly spaced and sparse data. Longitudinal trajectories may exhibit curvilinear patterns, in which mixed linear regression methods may fail to capture true trends in the data.
