| Title: | Aggregated Functional Data Calibration using Splines and Wavelets | 
| Version: | 1.0.0 | 
| Description: | Implements methods for calibrating an aggregated functional data model using wavelets or splines. Each aggregated curve is modeled as a linear combination of component functions and known weights. The component functions are estimated using wavelets or splines. The package is based on dos Santos Sousa (2024) <doi:10.1515/mcma-2023-2016> and Saraiva and Dias (2009) <doi:10.47749/T/UNICAMP.2009.471073>. |

Bayesian Shrinkage
Description
A Bayesian shrinkage method applied to empirical coefficients d, aiming to denoise them.
The shrinkage function is defined as:
\delta(d) = \displaystyle \frac{(1 - p) \int_{\mathbb{R}} (\sigma u + d) \, g(\sigma u + d; \tau) \, \phi(u) \, du}{\frac{p}{\sigma} \phi\left( \frac{d}{\sigma} \right) + (1 - p) \int_{\mathbb{R}} g(\sigma u + d; \tau) \, \phi(u) \, du}
where \phi(x) is the probability density function of the standard normal distribution,
and g(\theta; \tau) is the logistic density function.

Arguments
| d | Numeric value of the empirical coefficient to be denoised. | 
| tau | Numeric value of  | 
| p | Numeric value of  | 
| sigma | Numeric value of  | 
| MC | A logical evaluating to  | 
Value
A numeric value representing the result of the Bayesian shrinkage applied to the empirical coefficient d.
Logistic Density
Description

Functional Data Calibration with Splines
Description

where the functions \alpha_l(x) are estimated using spline basis functions.
In matrix notation, the model is represented as:
A = \alpha y + e

Arguments
| data | A matrix  | 
| weights | A matrix  | 
| x | A numeric vector of values at which the function is evaluated. |

The function returns a list containing two objects.

Simulated Data
Description
This is a simulated dataset designed to illustrate the functionalities of the package.
It contains 100 samples of aggregated data generated from two functions, \alpha_1(x) and \alpha_2(x), with added Gaussian noise N(0, 0.1).
The functions used in the simulation are:
\alpha_1(x) = \sin(5x) e^{-x^2} \quad \alpha_2(x) = \begin{cases} -2, & x < 0 \\ 0, & 0 \leq x < 1.5 \\ 3, & x \geq 1.5 \end{cases}
The simulations were performed over an equally spaced grid of 1024 points in the interval [-1, 2]. These functions were linearly combined using random concentrations to generate the samples, with the addition of Gaussian noise.

 Each column contains the random concentrations used to aggregate the two functions in each sample.
- x
