Functional data can be defined as data that are recorded over a continuous domain, where a set of measurements form a curve or image. Often, the domain is time and the sets of measurements are defined by an ID variable. A functional data observation for ID level i at a specific point t on the domain is written as fi(t). The Functional Data Explorer platform enables you to explore and analyze functional data.
