“…Due to advances in technology, in various areas of psychology, data are being collected in the form of curves, surfaces, or images as a function of time, space, or other continua; for example, eye‐tracking data (e.g., Jackson & Sirois, 2009), music cognition data (e.g., Vines, Nuzzo, & Levitin, 2005), facial temperature data (e.g., Jang & Lee, 2009), and event‐contingent social interaction data (e.g., Moskowitz et al ., 2006). A functional version of the proposed approach would be a promising tool integrating functional MCCA (Hwang, Jung, Takane, & Woodward, 2012) and functional PCA (Rice & Silverman, 1991; Ramsay & Silverman, 2005, chapter 8) into a single framework. Finally, we may develop a constrained version of the proposed approach, which imposes a variety of linear constraints (e.g., zero, non‐additivity, or equality constraints) on both criteria of (1) in a manner similar to Takane and Shibayama (1991).…”
