author keywords: covariance function; fPCA; functional data; model identifiability; penalized splines
TL;DR:
For multivariate functional data, a functional latent factor model is proposed, extending the traditional latent factor model for multivariate data and may provide a more parsimonious and interpretable characterization of the otherwise complex dependencies between the functions.

Total volume of physical activity: TAC, TLAC or TAC(lambda)
Varma, V. R., Dey, D., Leroux, A., Di, J., Urbanek, J., Xiao, L., & Zipunnikov, V. (2018, January).
author keywords: Physical activity
MeSH headings : Accelerometry; Exercise
TL;DR:
The main issue is whether TLAC or TAC is the most appropriate measure of total volume of PA, and it is argued that 1) TAC most closely reflects moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) while TLACmost closely reflects light-intensity PA (LiPA); and 2) Tac(λ) as a unifying measure to appropriately capture totalVolume of PA.

MeSH headings : Adolescent; Aged; Aging / physiology; Cross-Sectional Studies; Exercise; Female; Humans; Male; Nutrition Surveys; Sedentary Behavior; Sex Factors
TL;DR:
It is found that from childhood to adolescence across sex, PA is sharply lower by age partially due to a later initiation of morning PA, and males compared to females have an earlier lowering in PA by age at midlife and lower total PA, higher sedentary behavior, and lower light intensity PA in older adulthood.
