Comparison of sequential data analysis and functional data analysis for locomotor adaptation

Learning rates may depend on the circumstances and the time, while incentivization with punishments or rewards may affect human skill learning. We consider a state space model for dynamically changed learning rates and figure out the effect of incentivization on the learning rates by utilizing the dynamically weighted particle filter. Alternatively, we consider a functional data analysis for the learning rates and the effect of incentivization. We present the estimated learning rates and the effect of incentivization on the learning rates from two approaches, as well as the comparisons of their results.
