Sparse Functional Singular Value Decomposition for Biclustering and Triclustering Longitudinal Data
Researchers have developed Tri-SfSVD, a novel sparse functional Singular Value Decomposition framework designed to uncover patterns in complex longitudinal data. This method directly analyzes observed data, integrating continuous trajectory estimation with simultaneous selection of subjects, features, and time intervals. Tri-SfSVD aims to overcome limitations of existing methods by avoiding ad hoc imputation and restrictive shape assumptions, enabling the discovery of localized structures at multiple levels. AI
