This text focuses on the use of smoothing methods for developing
and estimating differential equations following recent developments
in functional data analysis and building on techniques described in
Ramsay and Silverman (2005) Functional Data Analysis. The central
concept of a dynamical system as a buffer that translates sudden
changes in input into smooth controlled output responses has led to
applications of previously analyzed data, opening up entirely new
opportunities for dynamical systems. The technical level has been
kept low so that those with little or no exposure to differential
equations as modeling objects can be brought into this data
analysis landscape. There are already many texts on the
mathematical properties of ordinary differential equations, or
dynamic models, and there is a large literature distributed over
many fields on models for real world processes consisting of
differential equations. However, a researcher interested in fitting
such a model to data, or a statistician interested in the
properties of differential equations estimated from data will find
rather less to work with. This book fills that gap.

Sugar cane plantations had operated across almost every island in
the West Indies since the seventeenth century. Run by British
planters, they relied on slavery as their main source of labour. A
surgeon and Anglican minister, James Ramsay (1733 89) witnessed at
first hand the exploitation of African slaves in Britain's West
Indian colonies. Working there for over twenty years, as both a
Christian missionary and a practising surgeon, he became keenly
involved in the campaign to improve the welfare of slaves. This
extended essay, first published in 1784, was an early and highly
influential contribution to the anti-slavery movement, generating
both enlightened acclaim and deep opposition. Analysing the
relationships between slaves and their masters, discussing the role
of slaves in society, and proposing various measures to improve
their lives, this work remains a relevant text in Caribbean and
colonial history.
This is the second edition of a highly succesful book which has
sold nearly 3000 copies world wide since its publication in
1997.
Many chapters will be rewritten and expanded due to a lot of
progress in these areas since the publication of the first
edition.
Bernard Silverman is the author of two other books, each of
which has lifetime sales of more than 4000 copies. He has a great
reputation both as a researcher and an author.
This is likely to be the bestselling book in the Springer Series
in Statistics for a couple of years.
This book can be considered a companion to two other highly
acclaimed books involving James Ramsay and Bernard Silverman:
Functional Data Analysis, Second Edition (2005) and Applied
Functional Data Analysis (2002).
This user's manual also provides the documentation for the S+FDA
library for S-Plus.
The book provides an application-oriented overview of functional
analysis, with extended and accessible presentations of key
concepts such as spline basis functions, data smoothing, curve
registration, functional linear models and dynamic systems
Functional data analysis is put to work in a wide a range of
applications, so that new problems are likely to find close
analogues in this book
The code in R and Matlab in the book has been designed to permit
easy modification to adapt to new data structures and research
problems
