Description: These functions were developed to support functional data
analysis as described in Ramsay, J. O. and Silverman, B. W.
(2005) Functional Data Analysis. New York: Springer.  They were
ported from earlier versions in Matlab and S-PLUS.  An
introduction appears in Ramsay, J. O., Hooker, Giles, and
Graves, Spencer (2009) Functional Data Analysis with R and
Matlab (Springer). The package includes data sets and script
files working many examples including all but one of the 76
figures in this latter book.  As of this release, the R-Project
is no longer distributing the Matlab versions of the functional
data analysis functions and sample analyses through the CRAN
distribution system.  This is due to the pressure placed on
storage required in the many CRAN sites by the rapidly
increasing number of R packages, of which the fda package is
one.  The three of us involved in this package have agreed to
help out this situation by switching to distributing the Matlab
functions and analyses through Jim Ramsay's ftp site at McGill
University.  To obtain these Matlab files, go to this site
using an ftp utility:
http://www.psych.mcgill.ca/misc/fda/downloads/FDAfuns/ There
you find a set of .zip files containing the functions and
sample analyses, as well as two .txt files giving instructions
for installation and some additional information.
