 +Many scientific areas are faced with the challenge of extracting information from
 +large, complex, and highly structured data sets. A great deal of modern statistical
 +work focuses on developing tools for handling such data. This paper presents a new
 +subfield of functional data analysis, FDA, which we call Manifold Data Analysis, or
 +MDA. MDA is concerned with the statistical analysis of samples where one or more
 +variables measured on each unit is a manifold, thus resulting in as many manifolds
 +as we have units. We propose a framework that converts manifolds into functional
 +objects, an efficient 2-step functional principal component method, and a manifold-
 +on-scalar regression model. This work is motivated by an anthropological application
 +involving 3D facial imaging data, which is discussed extensively throughout the
 +paper. The proposed framework is used to understand how individual characteristics,
 +such as age and genetic ancestry, influence the shape of the human face.
