Find the right documentation¶
Not every reader needs the full API reference. Choose the question you are trying to answer, then follow the stable method, its worked example, and the scientific limitations. This topic guide is a directory of existing material, not an additional estimator or a new research qualification.

Find a scientific method¶
| You want to… | Start with | Continue with |
|---|---|---|
| Install the published package and fit a first model | Five-minute first analysis | Quick start |
| Decide what raw data shape is admissible | Data-to-method guide | Input schemas |
| Analyze sparse or irregular single-coordinate gaze | Native sparse FPCA / PACE | Bandwidth choice |
| Jointly model sparse x/y trajectories | Sparse planar MFPCA | Asynchronous x/y sampling |
| Analyze repeated participant/trial observations | Repeated-trial mixed effects workflow | Covariance sensitivity |
| Model binary/count functional outcomes | Generalized responses workflow | Generalized functional response methods |
| Analyze scanpath recurrence / nonlinear trajectories | Nonlinear and recurrence workflow | RQA conventions |
Find evidence, not just a method name¶
| You are asking about… | Best page | What not to infer |
|---|---|---|
| Simultaneous inference or coverage under leverage | Research evidence · Failure cases | Executable simulation code does not guarantee nominal coverage |
| Missing gaze, MCAR, MAR or MNAR | Observation-process guide · Identification bounds | A source or return pattern alone does not identify unobserved outcomes |
| Reproducibility and independent checks | Evidence dashboard · Reproduction guide | A reproduced negative result is still a negative result |
| Equations and software contracts | Mathematical reference · Function-to-equation index | Mathematical documentation does not certify every use case |
Find tools, integrations, and reporting guidance¶
- I have a device export: integration navigator and Eye-Tracking-BIDS acquisition context. Example-level handoffs are not qualified device importers.
- I have a CSV: local data-readiness inspector; it checks structure without uploading your file.
- I want a figure: illustrated methods, visual gallery and research figure evidence.
- I need to choose a supported workflow: canonical workflows and ten-route comparison.
- I need a citation, version or release record: cite and reproduce, stable 1.2.0 release, and historical decision archive.
Using site search¶
The header search is local to the documentation index; it does not submit the user's query to a third-party search service. Material's built-in shortcuts include / or S to focus search, Up/Down to move between results, Enter to follow a result, and Escape to close. The built-in search highlight can preserve a search term in a result URL. The documentation quality audit explains what automated index and browser tests can—and cannot—establish.
