A s4 class that represents data of a function-valued variable.
The format is
\(f_i(t),\ t\in\Omega=[t_0,t_0 + T]\)
where \(i\) is the observation (subject) index, \(t\) represents the measurement (time) points.
Arguments
Slots
X
a matrix \((x_{ij})_{n\times m}\), where \(x_{ij} = f_i(t_j)\), represents the value of \(f_i(t_j)\), each row represent an observation (subject), each column is corresponding to a measurement (time) point.
t_0
start of the domain (time period), \(t_0\). Default is 0.
period
length of the domain (time period), \(T\). Default is 1.
t_points
sequence of the measurement points, \((t_1,\dots,t_m)\). Default is \(t_k = t_0 + \frac{(2k-1)T}{2(m+1)}\).
