Summary Functional data analysis involves the extension of familiar statistical procedures such as principal components analysis, linear modelling, and canonical correlation analysis to data where the raw observation xi is a function. An essential preliminary to a functional data analysis is often the registration or alignment of salient

A comprehensive assessment of the impact of errors in the cancer registration process on 1- and 5-year relative survival estimates. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: When making international comparisons of cancer survival, it is essential reported differences are real effects and not an artefact of potential errors in cancer registration. METHODS: We use simulation methods to assess the impact of various
