FunStatMath is a research initiative on Functional Data Analysis (FDA). FDA has been the subject of growing interest over the last few decades, as many data can naturally be viewed as curves or surfaces rather than vectors in multivariate analysis. The functional framework spans many application areas, such as functional imaging in neuroscience, spatio-temporal data in environmental sciences, and imaging data in molecular and cell biology, etc. As a result, the mathematical challenges posed by FDA have the capacity to influence diverse scientific fields far beyond their mathematical components. The leader of the network is Angelina Roche.
