"This well-written book provides a great and intuitive introduction to functional data analysis (FDA) which has emerged as an important area in statistics and found tons of scientific applications...This book succeeds at introducing this novel statistical concept and methodology while keeps the level of mathematical and statistical sophistication required to understand at the level of an introductory graduate-level course, which makes for pleasant reading. A nice feature of the book is its strong focus on implementation using R, which makes it a great candidate of textbooks or reference books for (master-level) graduate students and applied researchers...Some unique features of this book as compared to existing ones include (1) its strong focus on implementation using R; (2) chapters on Sparse FDA, generalized functional linear models, functional time series, and spatial functional data; (3) well-designed exercises that can be used as homework problems." ~Xianyang Zhang, Texas A&M University"The main advantage of the book is its emphasis introducing the material through realistic examples and computational tools, while also providing mathematical guidance for the methodologies. Also, important topics like functional time series and spatial functional data are not adequately covered in comparable texts like Ramsay and Silverman, Ramsay and Hooker, Ferraty and Vieu, and Hsing and Eubank. In that respect, the book offers additional and practically relevant material and perspective." ~Debashis Paul, University of California, Davis"The classic tools from the field of functional data analysis are introduced comprehensively and immediately put into a framework of potential application. I would probably advise any reader that is new to functional data analysis to start by reading this book." ~Claudia Klüppelberg, Technische Universität München"Being more advanced and up to date than the Ramsay and Silverman, it complements various topics that are just briefly mentioned or not covered at all by Ramsay and Silverman." ~Laura Sangali, Politecnico di Milano"As a relatively young subfield of statistics, functional data analysis (FDA) has not had a large glut of textbooks pertaining to it. The most famous of the FDA books is the classic text by J. O. Ramsay and B. W. Silverman [Functional data analysis, Springer Ser. Statist., Springer, New York, 1997; second edition, 2005; MR2168993], which introduced many statisticians to the area. Ramsay and Silverman [Applied functional data analysis, Springer Ser. Statist., Springer, New York, 2002; MR1910407] provided a useful collection of FDA case studies, and Ramsay, G. Hooker and S. Graves [Func-tional data analysis with R and MATLAB, Use R, Springer, New York, 2009, doi:10. 1007/978-0-387-98185-7] presented R and MATLAB code for analyzing real functional data sets. [F. Ferraty and P. Vieu, Nonparametric functional data analysis, Springer Ser. Statist., Springer, New York, 2006; MR2229687] and [T. Hsing and R. L. Eubank, Theoretical foundations of functional data analysis, with an introduction to linear opera- tors, Wiley Ser. Probab. Stat., Wiley, Chichester, 2015; MR3379106] are well-respected theoretical presentations of FDA.This book by Kokoszka and Reimherr provides a nice mix of foundational material, accessible theory, and practical examples (including much R code). It is a valuable addition to the FDA literature, and is perhaps an ideal choice of a course textbook for either an undergraduate or graduate course in FDA, whereas several of the other textbooks are more valuable as references for researchers and practitioners than as tutorials for learners. At the end of each chapter is a nice variety of problems that instructors could use for homework assignments.Chapter 1 introduces basic terminology related to FDA, such as the ubiquitous tool of basis expansion and the distinction between dense and sparse functional data. Summary statistics and plots (sample mean and covariance functions, principal components analysis (PCA), functional boxplots) for FDA are briey presented. Chapter 2 continues basic FDA topics with a discussion of derivative information, penalized smoothing, and alignment/registration of curves.The theoretical underpinnings of FDA are presented quickly in Chapter 3, where topics such as square integrable functions, random functions following some distribution, and operator theory are defined briey. A fuller coverage of theoretical concerns is saved for (the optional in a course setting) Chapters 10 and 11. The heart of the book is Chapters 4 through 9, which cover functional linear models in detail, before moving on to specialized FDA topics such as sparse FDA, functionaltime series, and spatial functional data. Scalar-on-function regression, in which the response is a scalar and the predictor is a function, is treated in Chapter 4, and illustrated via the use of the refund package in R. Nonlinear scalar-on-function regression is briey mentioned. Chapter 5 covers both the function-on-scalar regression case and the fully functional regression model in which both response and predictor are functions. Testing and validation of the functional linear model are also shown. Chapter 6 covers functional generalized linear models (GLMs) which have a nonnormal scalar response and a functional predictor. The somewhatnebulous situation with functional-response GLMs is briey covered as well. The next chapter deals with sparse functional data, and presents methods for mean function estimation, covariance function estimation, PCA, and regression in the sparse case when relatively few points are measured for each observed curve. Functional time series occur when the sample functions are observed sequentially over time rather than cross-sectionally. The assumption of independent functional data fails in this case, and Chapter 8 presents a functional autoregressive model for such data that can be used for forecasting. Spatial functional data may commonly be encountered in geostatistics when curves are observed both over time and at various spatial locations. Chapter 9 discusses models for such data and prediction using functional kriging. Chapter 12 discusses treating a functional data set as a sample from some population of functions and performing inference on the population. Of particular interest are the methods presented for formal hypothesis tests and confidence bands about the population mean function.Clustering and classification of functional data are not discussed in detail in thisbook, nor is FDA on manifolds, although references are given to guide readers to recentresearch in these areas."~David Benner Hitchcock

"It is probably a sign of the times that contemporary readers can find so much to enjoy in a discussion of the moral values at work in Austen s world. Nothing is more difficult to convey in a college classroom today than the concept of decorum with all its ramifications, social to aesthetic. Yet students gravitate toward the concept and desperately want to understand it. Mona Scheuermann has performed a great service to teachers and students alike in this study of Austen s moral compass, her abiding commitment to right relations amongst members of her society." - Eighteenth-Century Life

"Scheuermann does not have a political agenda; Austen is not, for her, a feminist novelist, nor is she a failed feminist novelist. By setting Austen s novels in their own remarkable era, Scheuermann discovers a writer who, far from merely working that small piece of ivory, intimately faces the most profoundconcerns of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century England." - Maximillian Novak, Distinguished Professor of English and Comparative Literature, UCLA

"Repeatedly hijacked by assorted critics with contradictory agendas, Jane Austen s writings have long been held hostage to a rag-tag band of ideologies, methodologies, and plain old ambitions.Now, Austen s novels have been liberated . . .Scheuermann returns to us a Jane Austen that we all knew (or at leasthoped) existed: an Austen with robust conceptions of the good and decent life, a no-nonsense Austen who makes clear judgments about the merit of ideas, people, literature, and the arts." - Kevin L. Cope, Professor, Department of English, Louisiana State University

"Scheuermann offers a reading of a conservative Jane Austen that is profound in its simplicity, and sophisticated in its refusal to be taken in by the various jargons of recent criticism . . .Scheuermann makes a strong argument for acknowledging that Austen s values are often very different from our own, no matter how violently we twist and torment her texts to make her one of us. In doing so, she demonstrates the full clarity of Austen s ethical vision and the very good reasons why - as a check to our own certainties - it is always timely and instructive to reread her novels." - Melvyn New, Professor of English, Emeritus, University of Florida
