Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Functional data are referred to as data whose observation units are functions (curves, surfaces, or anything else varying over a continuum), and high-dimensional data are referred to as data whose dimension or number of features is of comparable size or is larger than the number of observations. With the development of modern data collection technology, functional and high-dimensional data are commonly seen and readily available in many research areas nowadays. They present a variety of new challenges because classical theories and methodologies can surprisingly fail to work. Therefore, in the past two decades, much attention has been paid to developing new theories and methodologies for analyzing functional and high-dimensional data.
In this Special Issue, we are interested in research papers concerned with theoretical, computational, or data analytic aspects of functional and high-dimensional data analysis. Papers in the following areas are particularly welcome:
- Classification, clustering, and discrimination;
- Data mining and machine learning techniques;
- Dependent functional or high-dimensional data analysis;
- Hypothesis testing about equality of mean, covariance operators, or distributions;
- Parametric and nonparametric regression and prediction;
- Other advances concerning functional or high-dimensional data analysis.
In order to be considered for publication, a paper should have developed some new theories or methodologies for analyzing functional or high-dimensional data. Quick publication is possible for interesting research work.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
