--- title: "Association Diagnostics for Functional Predictors" output: rmarkdown::html_vignette vignette: > %\VignetteIndexEntry{Association Diagnostics for Functional Predictors} %\VignetteEngine{knitr::rmarkdown} %\VignetteEncoding{UTF-8} --- ```{r, include = FALSE} knitr::opts_chunk$set(collapse = TRUE, comment = "#>") ``` FDA-aware SelectBoost depends on an association structure between flattened functional coefficients. The package exposes these structures as ordinary matrices and diagnostic tables. ```{r} library(SelectBoost.FDA) sim <- simulate_fda_scenario( n = 24, grid_length = 12, include_scalar = FALSE, seed = 1 ) diagnostics <- diagnose_functional_association( sim$design, methods = c("correlation", "neighborhood", "hybrid", "interval"), bandwidth = 2, width = 3 ) diagnostics[, c("method", "sparsity", "within_block_mass", "cross_block_mass", "local_mass")] ``` The heatmap extractor returns long-form data and feature metadata. It does not require any plotting backend. ```{r} heatmap_data <- as_association_heatmap_data( sim$design, method = "hybrid", within_blocks = TRUE, bandwidth = 2 ) head(heatmap_data) ``` The same diagnostics can be computed for a user-supplied association matrix: ```{r} assoc <- functional_association(sim$design, method = "neighborhood", bandwidth = 2) summarise_association_structure(assoc, x = sim$design, bandwidth = 2) ```
