TimeTraits: Functional Data Analysis Pipeline, Extracting Functional Traits from Biological Time-Series Data

Provides a pipeline of tools for analysing circadian time-series data using functional data analysis (FDA). The package supports smoothing of rhythmic time series, functional principle component analysis (FPCA), and extraction of group-level traits from functional representations. Analyses can incorporate multiple curve derivatives and optional temporal segmentation, enabling comparative analysis of circadian dynamics across experimental groups and time windows.
