The basic idea behind FDA is to express discrete observations arising from time series in the form of a function (to create functional data) that represents the entire measured function as a single observation, and then to draw modeling and/or prediction information from a collection of functional data by applying statistical concepts from multivariate data analysis.
For example, if the new target architecture includes a floating-point unit, Figure 4 has to be modified by including a new functional block that represents the floating-point unit together with the parameters affecting its power consumption such as the access rate.
Our simple example makes this point obvious, as we know the functional form that represents the data.
This is because the main hypothesis here is the existence of a functional map that represents periodic information that might be useful to preserve relevant behavioral cues.
Such a similarity of spike activities of granule cells suggests that a granule-cell cluster behaves as a functional unit that represents information robustly against stochastic fluctuation inherent in the CS.
DP are components able to enable disable their respective FR to generate an acceptable process cell operational sequence that represents the "functional specifications" of the manufacturing process.
To perform this information more intelligible, functional abstraction [ 35] was applied identifying a special set of GO terms, i.e., "functional areas", that represent the knowledge contained in the complete DAG at a maximum of coverage, certainty, information value and conciseness [ 35].
LIGNUM is a functional-structural model that represents a tree using four modelling units which closely resemble the real structure of trees: tree segments, tree axes, branching points and buds.
Viewed in the plane of the cortical surface, the visual cortex is composed of overlapping functional maps that represent stimulus features such as edge orientation, direction of motion, and spatial frequency.
On to this framework, Dr Hunter's team was then free to attach "functional components" that represent mathematically many of the activities within the heart for example, ion channels opening and closing during a surge of electrical current through the heart.
