▼ Purpose: An important challenge for eye care practitioners is meeting the needs of an ever-increasing elderly population. Standard vision tests are inadequate for determining performance in real life situations. One test that was developed to address this issue is the Attended Field of View (AFOV) test (Coeckelbergh et al, 2004). This test was designed to assess the functional field of view when people are allowed to make habitual head and eye movements. The original AFOV test is no longer available. This research seeks to develop a replacement AFOV test and to demonstrate its reliability as an assessment tool. Methods: Two groups of participants were recruited. The first group consisted of seven participants between the ages of 15-41 years. The second group consisted of seven participants between the ages of 59–79 years. All subjects had visual acuities equal or better than 20/25 and no history of visual field loss. A computer-generated display was observed from a 60cm distance. The display consisted of 24 white circles on a gray background and one open circle (target). The circles were organized with one circle in the centre and eight located radially at three eccentricities (4, 8, and 12 degrees). Participants were required to locate the target circle and identify the gap direction. A response was considered correct when both the location and gap direction were accurate. Using a weighted staircase method based on presentation time each location was evaluated independently. Viewing efficiency [log (1/threshold presentation time)] was obtained for each location. The data was analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. Results: A comparison of viewing efficiency for the two age groups demonstrates that viewing efficiency is consistently lower for the older group at all three visits. The main effect of age was observed (F1,12=25.842;p=0.000). In the older group, a significant difference was found between the second and third visits. This difference was not found in the younger group. A main effect of eccentricity was found in both groups (F2,36=30.84;p<0.000), but no interaction was observed between eccentricity and group (F2,36=0.42;p=0.662). Viewing efficiency values in the older group were lower in all directions (main effect of age) (F1,96=150.36;p<0.000). Directional variations in viewing efficiency were observed showing higher values in the horizontal axes (directions Right and Left) than along the vertical axes (directions Up and Down) in both groups. A comparison of superior and inferior hemifield data shows consistent differences for both age groups. The superior hemifield (average of directions located superiorly to the horizontal axis) demonstrate higher viewing efficiency values (better performance) than the inferior hemifield. Conclusions: The use of the new AFOV test requires a practice time before its use in order to avoid the confound of a learning effect, but subsequent data is reliable in young people. The learning effect was more significant in older people and for this reason the use of…

▼ Auditory and visual information interact in the brain to produce a wide variety of behavioral and cognitive phenomena, however much is unknown about the mechanisms of these interactions. In this thesis I investigate functional networks determined by neural electromagnetic signals in order to investigate dynamic cortical communication present during audiovisual interactions. The goal of this research is to not only outline the contributions of various functional links between brain regions during different types of audiovisual interactions, but additionally to investigate what types of electromagnetic relationships are present between communicating areas. I find that correlations of beta power directly illustrate connectivity between auditory and visual areas during audiovisual integration. Specifically, co-fluctuations of beta power are seen between R-V4/V5 and R-auditory cortex when tracking an audiovisual object. Additional investigations of beta-power functional networks during audiovisual searching show an indirect audiovisual integrative route, bridging auditory and visual cortex through a fronto-parietal network. Further, these connections varied with task performance and strategy as well as showed changes over training. The strength of the fronto-parietal network links are positively correlated with the speed at which subjects performed their audiovisual search. Large changes over training were in low level visual cortex during searching, indicating that as an audiovisual search becomes more trained, lower level cortices become more involved. Fronto-parietal connections, as well as auditory and visual cortical links to the fronto-parietal network were correlated with how much subjects used auditory information to drive their visual search, indicating a top-down, task-driven audiovisual integrative route. We conclude these findings not only implicate differential functional network pathways underlying audiovisual tracking and searching, but further indicate that beta power correlations are a robust measure of cortical communication with direct behavioral relevance, not limited to auditory and visual areas.

▼ In this dissertation we investigated and proposed tools for the analysis of functional connectivity of brain signals. We first investigated the test-retest reliability of current methods used for functional connectivity analyses. Three resting-state fMRI scans were obtained from twenty-five subjects. The protocol between scanning sessions did not change, and so ideally, measures of dependencies between different regions of the brain do not change with respect to the session and are robust to noise. We quantified dependencies using various measures of dependencies and assessed their performance via a test-retest analysis. Next, we proposed a new statistical method, called the generalized shrinkage estimator, for investigating dependencies in the frequency domain between neurophysiological signals. The generalized shrinkage estimator is a weighted average of a parametric estimator and a nonparametric estimator, both of which are the current popular methods for spectral analysis. The optimal weights are frequency-specific and were derived under the quadratic risk criterion so that the estimator, either the parametric estimator or the nonparametric estimator, that performs better at a particular frequency receives heavier weight. We validated the proposed estimator in a simulation study and applied it on electroencephalogram recordings from a visual-motor experiment. Finally, we introduced a new modeling framework for analyzing nonidentical and nonstationary neurophysiological signals. In this framework, the spectral properties of the data which are evolving over time within a replicate are also evolving over the replications. We proposed a novel statistical model and corresponding two-stage estimation approach for estimating the spectral properties of the time series data that addresses these two sources of nonstationarity. The first stage accounted for nonstationarity over time within a replicate using local periodogram matrices. The second stage addresses the nonstationarity over the replications via wavelet regression, where we pooled the wavelet coefficients to further smooth our estimates. In this work we showed that the evolutionary spectral properties of the local field potentials (LFPs) obtained from the nucleus accumbens and the hippocampus evolved over the course of a learning association experiment.

▼ The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) has long been associated with the performance of working memory tasks; however the functional specialization of this area has been debated. Several studies have identified differences in stimulus property selectivity along the dorsal-ventral axis. Additionally, a proposed anterior-posterior axis of selectivity where anterior regions are more selective to task rules and posterior areas are more selective to stimulus properties has been proposed in recent years. To test the presence and properties of these axes, we recorded neural activity from monkeys prior to training. Our results showed a clear shift in stimulus property selectivity moving posterior-to-anterior. Posterior PFC regions were more selective to the stimulus properties than anterior PFC regions were. Additionally, we observed no difference between the posterior regions when testing their selectivity to stimuli features, but the posterior-dorsal region was much more selective to stimulus location than any other region. While ventral regions were more selective to stimulus features than dorsal regions, there was a posterior-anterior gradient of selectivity for stimulus location. These results show clear axes of selectivity both dorsal-ventrally and anteriorly-posteriorly. Working memory training has been shown to affect the response properties of the PFC in many tasks, thus in order to examine if the properties along these axes were altered following training in a working memory task, we recorded from four of the same monkeys after they had acquired a match/nonmatch task rule. We then observed that there was an increase in selectivity primarily in the anterior regions of the dorsal PFC and that the dorsal regions still carried more spatial information than ventral regions. Furthermore, there was a gradient of decoding selectivity for the task rule during the sample and sample delay periods in the dorsal PFC where the anterior-dorsal region had the highest decoding accuracies right before the decision was made. Our results provide much needed clarification on the functional specialization of the PFC and alterations from working memory training.

The publicly-funded adult literacy system constitutes the largest network of available adult basic education (ABE) programs (Beder, 1991). However, since the 1998 Workforce Investment Act (WIA) instituted accountability measures related to ABE students’ standardized test performance and their rapid acquisition of jobs, researchers and practitioners have been concerned that programs were implicitly being forced to limit program access for adults who have difficulty with reading, among whom students of color are disproportionately concentrated (Beder, 1999; Comings, 2007; Condelli, 2007; Pickard, 2016). With the 2014 Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act’s added emphasis on rapid transition of adult literacy students into post-secondary education, this concern has intensified (Pickard, 2016). This ethnographic study explored the experiences of learners enrolled in a publicly-funded ABE class targeted to adults who have difficulty reading and examined the relationship between the federal policies that fund and regulate adult literacy programs and these learners’ classroom experiences. Findings include that learners in this class encountered significant barriers of access to public literacy programs, were exposed to deficit-based programmatic practices that possibly worsened their educational marginalization, and had their cultural and personal strengths largely ignored during classroom instruction. Furthermore, it was observed that the pressures of federal accountability policy activated or deepened these practitioners’ deficit beliefs about learners. Critical race theory (CRT) methodology (Solórzano & Yosso, 2002) was used to construct counter-stories that focus on learners’ strengths and to imagine opportunities for adult literacy instruction that are grounded in learner assets, rather than driven by deficit beliefs. Ladson-Billings (2006) argued that there is an “education debt” owed to racially minoritized students in the U.S., rooted in the highly discriminatory “historical, economic, sociopolitical, and moral decisions and policies” (p.5) that shape our society and our educational systems. Similarly, the literacy issues of adults who have difficulty reading have been influenced by a multitude of complex, interwoven sociopolitical and educational factors. This study found that participation in a publicly-funded adult literacy class left the education debt owed to these learners largely unpaid.

The main result of this dissertation is an extension of a stability estimate of the Sobolev Inequality established by Bianchi and Egnell in cite{BiEg}. Bianchi and Egnell's Stability Estimate answers the question raised by H. Brezis and E. H. Lieb in cite{BrLi}: ``Is there a natural way to bound | abla varphi |₂² - C_N² | varphi |_frac{2N}{N-2}² from below in terms of the `distance' of varphi from the manifold of optimizers in the Sobolev Inequality?'' Establishing stability estimates - also known as quantitative versions of sharp inequalities - of other forms of the Sobolev Inequality, as well as other inequalities, is an active topic. See cite{CiFu}, cite{DoTo}, and cite{FiMa}, for stability estimates involving Sobolev inequalities and cite{CaFi}, cite{DoTo}, and cite{FuMa} for stability estimates on other inequalities. In this dissertation, we extend Bianchi and Egnell's Stability Estimate to a Sobolev Inequality for ``continuous dimensions.'' Bakry, Gentil, and Ledoux have recently proved a sharp extension of the Sobolev Inequality for functions on ℝ₊ imes ℝⁿ, which can be considered as an extension to ``continuous dimensions.'' V. H. Nguyen determined all cases of equality. The dissertation extends the Bianchi-Egnell stability analysis for the Sobolev Inequality to this ``continuous dimensional'' generalization. The secondary result of this dissertation is a sketch of the proof of an extension of a stability estimate of a single case of a sharp Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality to a whole family of Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities, whose sharp constants and extremals were calculated by Del Pino and Dolbeault in cite{DeDo}. The original stability estimate for the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality was stated and proved by E. Carlen and A. Figalli in cite{CaFi}. The proof for its extension to the entire class of sharp Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities of Del Pino and Dolbeault is a direct application of the extension of the Bianchi-Egnell Stability Estimate to Bakry, Gentil, and Ledoux's extension of the Sobolev Inequality to continuous dimensions.

histogenezi, biološkom toku i kliničkim karakteristikama, ova heterogena grupa tumora se značajno razlikuje od drugih neoplazmi pankreasa. Bolje razumevanje specifičnosti pNET i široka primena savremenih dijagnostičkih procedura su dovele do drastičnog porasta njihove incidence i prevalence u nekoliko proteklih dekada, i sada se smatra da se javljaju da incidencom od oko 4-5 novih slučajeva na 100.000 osoba opšte populacije godišnje. U zavisnosti od toga da li produkuju hormone koji mogu dovesti do klinički značajnih simptoma i inunohistohemijskih karakteristika tumora, pNETse dele na funkcionalne i nefunkcionalne. Pacijenti sa funkcionalnim pNET, često se prezentuju simptomima karakterističnim zavisoke cirkulišuće nivoe hormona koji produkuju. Nefunkcionalni pNET ne prouzrokuju hormon-zavisne simptome i oni se najčešće detektuju slučajno ili usled simptomatologijeuslovljene lokalnim ili udaljenim rastom tumora, kao što su abdominalni bol, mučnina, povraćanje, malaksalost, opstruktivna žutica ili palpabilan tumor u abdomenu. Između 10 i 15% svih pNET su deo naslednih sindroma poput MEN 1, von Hippel-Lindau, neurofibromatoze i tuberozne skleroze. Ciljevi istraživanja: Utvrđivanje dijagnostičke tačnosti preoperativnih procedura u proceni stadijuma bolesti kod pacijenata sa funkcionalnim i nefunkcionalnim neuroendokrinim tumorima pankreasa.

▼ Functional behavioral assessment (FBA) is defined as a range of behavior assessment procedures that are used to identify or clarify functional relationships between behavior and environmental events. A variety of methods and instruments are used within a FBA (e.g., record reviews, interviews, rating scales, direct observations, experimental analysis conditions) and the increased awareness of this methodology has created interest in properly investigating the psychometric properties (e.g., reliability, validity) of the measures. Preliminary convergent validity has been demonstrated across some of the measures used to identify functional relationships; however, further evaluation is needed to establish the psychometric properties as well as the utility of functional assessment measures. The primary purpose of the current research was to evaluate psychometric properties of a newly developed informant record (e.g., Functional Assessment Informant Record for Parents-Checklist; FAIR-P-CL). Specifically, the reliability of the measure (i.e., test-retest and inter-scorer reliability), validity of the measures (i.e., convergence with the Functional Assessment Screening Tool-Revised; FAST-R and convergence across phases of FBA), and socially validity (i.e., use of acceptability rating scales) were assessed. Results of the study suggested appropriate test-retest reliability of the FAIR-P-CL. Convergent validity was obtained across all phases of FBA with the majority of participants. The FAIR-P-CL identified the target behavior noncompliance as a multiple function behavior for 4 out of 5 participants suggesting the use of a treatment package in contrast to a specific function-based intervention. Appropriate social validity was obtained across the FAIR-P-CL, assessment and intervention phases of the study. Overall results of the study provided preliminary support for the psychometric properties of the FAIR-P-CL and extended the utility of functional assessment instruments to typically developing children in a clinic-based setting.

▼ This thesis has two overall themes, both of which involve the word functional, albeit in different contexts. The theme that motivates two of the chapters is the development of methods that enable a deeper understanding of the variability of functional data. The theme of the final chapter is the development of methods that enable a deeper understanding of the landscape of functionality across the human genome in different human tissues. The first chapter of this thesis provides a framework for quantifying the variability of functional data and for analyzing the factors that affect this variability. We extend functional principal components analysis by modeling the variance of principal component scores. We pose a Bayesian model, which we estimate using variational Bayes methods. We illustrate our model with an application to a kinematic dataset of two-dimensional planar reaching motions by healthy subjects, showing the effect of learning on motion variability. The second chapter of this thesis provides an alternative method for decomposing functional data that follows a Poisson distribution. Classical methods pose a latent Gaussian process that is then linked to the observed data via a logarithmic link function. We pose an alternative model that draws on ideas from non-negative matrix factorization, in which we constrain both scores and spline coefficient vectors for the functional prototypes to be non-negative. We impose smoothness on the functional prototypes. We estimate our model using the method of alternating minimization. We illustrate our model with an application to a dataset of accelerometer readings from elderly healthy Americans. The third chapter of this thesis focuses on functional genomics, rather than functional data analysis. Here we pose a method for unsupervised clustering of functional genomics data. Our method is non-parametric, allowing for flexible modeling of the functional genomics data without binarization. We estimate our model using variational Bayes methods, and illustrate it by calculating genome-wide functional scores (based on a partition of our clusters into functional and non-functional clusters) for 127 different human tissues. We show that these genome-wide and tissue-specific functional scores provide state-of-the-art functional prediction.

▼ There are a number of approaches for eliminating intermediate data structures in functional programs by rewriting a composition of recursive functions as a single recursive function. Such a transformation is called fusion. One such approach is to encapsulate a structured recursion scheme in two combinators for consumption and production of data, and use algebraic transformations to rewrite these where possible, letting local compiler optimisations fuse the remaining nonrecursive portions of the program. This approach is called shortcut fusion, which has been implemented using various recursion schemes in the programming language Haskell. Despite their obvious similarities, however, the relationship between these techniques has not been formalised. In this thesis, three techniques, chosen for their success in practical applications and prominence in previous literature, are analysed. Their relationship is examined on three different levels: theory, practice, and pragmatics. Theoretically, the relationship between their underlying recursion schemes is examined. In the right setting, it is possible to compare them side-by-side, which makes clearer their differences in expressibility as well as the foundations for their correctness. On the practical level, the similarities in their implementations in Haskell can be generalised using the concept of data abstraction, and a general semantic framework is developed for shortcut fusion without reference to a specific recursion scheme. Finally, the pragmatics of these techniques are investigated, and it turns out that the these, too, are not dependent on the specific technique used. The results from this analysis demonstrate that shortcut fusion is actually a single program transformation, defined by a general semantic framework that can be instantiated for a variety of recursion schemes. Furthermore, it is possible to use this information to create a declarative infrastructure for implementing shortcut fusion within a compiler. This results in a more robust program transformation that is less complicated to implement than before.

▼ Exposure to high-energy radiation can cause mutations in living organisms by generating lethal lesions in DNA strands. Density functional theory has been employed to study microhydration effects on formation of the anions of three pyrimidine nucleic acid bases (NABs), thymine, uracil, and cytosine, which are thought to play an important role in the radiation-induced DNA damage process, by explicitly considering various structures of complexes of the three bases with up to five water molecules at the B3LYP/DZP++ level of theory. For all three bases, both the adiabatic electron affinities (AEAs) and vertical detachment energies (VDEs) are found to increase with the number of hydrating water molecules, implying that formation of the anions of the NABs are energetically favorable, although the anions of the NABs in the gas phase are not bound or weakly bound at most. For a given hydration number, uracil is predicted to have the largest electron affinities, while cytosine has the smallest. The methyl group of thymine is found to lower the AEA by 0.04 eV, compared to the AEA of uracil. These results are qualitatively consistent with available experimental results from photodetachment-photoelectron spectroscopy studies of Schiedt et al. [Chem. Phys. 239, 511 (1998)]. The hydrogen-abstracted radicals from the adenine-uracil base pair have also been studied at the B3LYP/DZP++ level of theory. The radical arising from removal of an amino hydrogen of the adenine moiety which forms a hydrogen bond with the uracil O4 atom resulted í1in a significant decrease in the base pair dissociation energy (5.9 kcal mol). This radical is more likely to dissociate into the two isolated bases than to recover the hydrogen bond with the O4 atom through the N6-H bond rotation along the C6-N6 bond. On the contrary, removal of the uracil N3 hydrogen atom does not affect the base pair dissociation energy of the resulting radical, due to electron density transfer from the adenine N1 atom to the uracil N3 atom.

▼ Background: The star excursion balance test (SEBT) and Y-balance test (YBT) are similar tests that have been commonly applied to assess dynamic postural stability deficits in the Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) population. However, they could in fact require different task performance and/or movements to assess dynamic postural stability, as they use different measuring techniques and one uses a platform. The purposes of this study were to determine if there is a significant difference in performance in the kinematic patterns of CAI and control groups on the SEBT and the YBT, and to determine if there is a significant difference in dynamic postural control stability between the groups while performing the SEBT. Methods: 70 participants (35 in the CAI and 35 in the control group) performed in the Anterior (AN), Posteromedial (PM), and Posterolateral (PL) directions of the SEBT (on the single force plate) and the YBT. Also, the kinematics of hip, knee, and ankle joint in sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes were calculated and analyzed. Center of Pressure (COP) data with a sampling rate of 180Hz were collected while performing the SEBT. Findings: Compared with the control group, the CAI group achieved significantly shorter reach distance in the AN and PM reach directions on the SEBT. On the YBT, the CAI group had significantly shorter reach distance in the PM and PL directions compared with the control group. In the CAI group, participants had significantly greater reach distance in the PL direction on the YBT compared with the SEBT. Comparing performance on the SEBT and YBT within each group, significant differences in angular displacement and joint angle at the point of maximum reach at the hip, knee, and ankle in 3 planes were observed. The CAI group had significantly lower A-P COPSD (cm) and COPA-95 (cm2) than the control group while performing the SEBT in the AN, PM, and PL reach directions. Interpretation: Clinicians and researchers should not apply these dynamic postural control tasks interchangeably or compare reach distances from one task to another. Also, clinicians may need to incorporate rehabilitation techniques to challenge COP control during dynamic balance tasks. Advisors/Committee Members: Cathleen Brown Crowell.

▼ Neuroprosthetics are devices that substitute for or supplant motor, sensory or cognitive modalities damaged as a result of spinal cord injury or stroke. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) neuroprosthetics utilize artificial stimulation to restore motor function in paralyzed muscles, where control exerted by higher nervous system centers over muscle may be impaired. Although promising, FES has failed to gain widespread acceptance due in part to weak contraction strength and rapid fatigue observed with artificial stimulation. This dissertation documents an attempt to create an upper limb FES neuroprosthetic and subsequently to address the issues of weakness and fatigue. To exploit the capabilities of the musculoskeletal system the neural drive to muscle first must be decoded. Decoding the neural drive for specific movements has been approached using either a deterministic (engineering) or machine learning model. While a deterministic model accounts for all components of a limb, number of joints, degrees of freedom, limb length, muscle length, etc, machine learning characterizes the relationship between select variables, in this case whole muscle electromyographic data (EMG) and limb kinematics. Ultimately, the output of both approaches is used to predict the neural drive required to generate movements. In this study we first attempt to build an upper limb FES neuroprosthetic. Utilizing machine learning, we characterize the relationship between limb kinematics and EMG. Then, predict EMG based solely on limb kinematics. Finally, stimulation pulses were generated and delivered via intramuscular electrodes to produce movement. Additionally, to address force generation we hypothesized that due to the distributed nature of motor axons within a muscle stimulating with multiple spatially distributed electrodes would activate a larger muscle volume thus generating additional force. This in turn would facilitate load sharing among muscle fibers, and reduce fatigue. To evaluate fatigue we compared interleaved and synchronous patterns of stimulation as well as single electrode vs multiple electrode stimulation. We approached these questions and aims with a combination of strategies and techniques including machine learning, implantation of stimulating electrodes in a non-human primate model and finally human subjects. While machine learning provided EMG predictions with high R values, we were unable to generate substantive movements activating all the muscle in a complete joint system. However, we were able to generate movements stimulating a single muscle in an intact joint system. We found that single electrode force could be augmented with multiple electrodes. Additional results indicate that multiple electrode stimulation was less fatiguing than single electrode stimulation. Interleaved stimulation however, did not result in less fatigue than synchronous stimulation. Advisors/Committee Members: Fuglevand, Andrew (advisor), Bailey, Fiona E.

▼ While multivariate data analysis is concerned with data in the form of random vectors, functional data analysis goes one big step farther, focusing on data that are infinite-dimensional, such as curves, shapes and images. We focus on functional data that are measured over time across multiple subjects. The first part of the thesis focuses on spatially correlated functional data. This correlation is modeled by correlating functional principal component scores. We propose a Spatial Principal Analysis by Conditional Expectation framework to explicitly estimate spatial correlations and reconstruct individual curves. This approach works even when the observed data per curve are extremely sparse. Assuming spatial stationarity, empirical between-curve correlations are calculated as the ratio of eigenvalues of the smoothed covariance surface Cov(Xi(s),Xi(t)) and cross-covariance surface Cov(Xi(s),Xj(t)). Then a parametric spatial correlation model is employed to fit empirical correlations. Finally, principal component scores are estimated to reconstruct the sparsely observed curves. This framework could naturally accommodate arbitrary covariance structures, but there is an enormous reduction in computation if one can assume the separability of temporal and spatial components. We propose hypothesis tests to examine the separability and isotropy effect of spatial correlation. Simulation studies and applications of empirical data show improvements in the curve reconstruction using our framework over the method where curves are assumed to be independent. In addition, asymptotic properties of estimates are discussed in details. In the second part of this work, we present a new approach to factor rotation for functional data. This is achieved by rotating the functional principal components toward a predefined space of periodic functions designed to decompose the total variation into components that are nearly-periodic and nearly-aperiodic with a predefined period. We show that the factor rotation can be obtained by the calculation of canonical correlations between appropriate spaces. Moreover, we demonstrate that our proposed rotations provide stable and interpretable results in the presence of highly complex covariance. This work is motivated by the goal of finding interpretable sources of variability in a gridded time series of vegetation index measurements obtained from remote sensing, and we demonstrate our methodology through the application of factor rotation of this data.

▼ Highly structured data collected in a variety of biomedical applications such as electroencephalography (EEG) are discrete samples of a smooth functional process observed across both temporal and spatial dimensions. EEG data is conceptualized as region-referenced longitudinal functional data in which the functional dimension captures local signal dynamics, the longitudinal dimension tracks changes over the course of an experiment, and the regional dimension indexes spatial information across electrodes on the scalp. This complex data structure exhibits intricate dependencies with rich information but its dimensionality and size produce significant obstacles for interpretation, estimation, and inference. Motivated by a series of EEG studies in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a set of computationally efficient methods for these high-dimensional data structures are proposed that both maintain information along each dimension and yield interpretable components and inferences. The first half of the work considers decompositions of the total variation. To begin, a multi-dimensional functional principal components analysis (MD-FPCA) is introduced which decomposes the total variation into subject- and electrode-level components and for each level employs a two-stage functional principal components decomposition sequentially across functional and longitudinal time. Next, a hybrid principal components analysis (HPCA) for region-referenced longitudinal functional EEG data is proposed which utilizes both vector and functional principal components analyses and does not collapse information along any of the three dimensions of the data. The second half of the work shifts to modeling associations and introduces a covariate-adjusted region-referenced generalized functional linear model (CARR-GFLM) for modeling scalar outcomes from region-referenced functional predictors. CARR-GFLM utilizes a tensor basis formed from one-dimensional discrete and continuous bases to estimate functional effects across a discrete regional domain while simultaneously adjusting for additional non-functional covariates, such as age. Proposed methods not only help identify neurodevelopmental differences between typically developing and ASD children but can also be used to study the heterogeneity within children with ASD. The performance of all proposed methods is studied via extensive simulations.
