Hi all,

i'm new to this forum and i really need any advice you can throw my way. i have been asked to produce a functional component model for my project. Can anybody explain what this is and give examples if possible. can i also add that i have at hand the high level business requirements and use cases...are these all i need?

thanks

 In addition to generally researching the keywords also consider this;

• What is the context of the problem-solution you have been asked to describe
• How would you best break the proposed solution into parts?
• To what degree are you expected to design a solution?  Who else is involved and are you talking to them?
• Who asked you t do this work and why?
• Have you discussed time frames, stakeholders to the work or templates that you are expected to use?
• Can your boss offer you an example of previous work of a similar nature that they consider good quality?
• What does a completed product (ie your doc) look like? How will it be measured and assessed?

Functional component model has become an admired technique in applied statistics. In particular, this tactic has received great attention in recent studies in empirical finance. In this talk we discuss chosen topics of functional principal components analysis that are motivated by financial data.
