We talk about analysis of functional data or longitudinal data. But, what does this refer to? In what situations is it useful? What if it was as easy as a cooking recipe?

Functional data analysis is simply the exploitation of data that depends on a third variable (potentially time) in a statistical model. This short video (in French) will allow you to understand its meaning and its application in a production context.
Functional data analysis also has other applications, especially when we have a target functional response that we want to obtain. This can be the case for a dilution curve, a cell / bacterial culture growth curve, a tensile curve etc.
This notion of "Golden curve" will be the subject of a future blog post. To be continued...

Hello Florence !
Merci pour ce premier post (français) sur l'analyse des données fonctionnelles. On attend la suite...
