Functional Additive Regression

چکیده
We suggest a new method, called Functional Additive Regression, or FAR, for efficiently performing high dimensional functional regression. FAR extends the usual linear regression model involving a functional predictor, X(t), and a scalar response, Y , in two key respects. First, FAR uses a penalized least squares optimization approach to efficiently deal with high dimensional problems involving a large number of functional predictors. Second, FAR extends beyond the standard linear regression setting to fit general non-linear additive models. We demonstrate that FAR can be implemented with a wide range of penalty functions using a highly efficient coordinate descent algorithm. Theoretical results are developed which provide motivation for the FAR optimization criterion. Finally, we show through simulations and two real data sets that FAR can significantly outperform competing methods.

Continuously Additive Models for Nonlinear Functional Regression
We introduce continuously additive models, which can be motivated as extensions of additive regression models with vector predictors to the case of infinite-dimensional predictors. This approach provides a class of flexible functional nonlinear regression models, where random predictor curves are coupled with scalar responses. In continuously additive modeling, integrals taken over a smooth sur...
متن کاملFunctional Additive Models
In commonly used functional regression models, the regression of a scalar or functional response on the functional predictor is assumed to be linear. This means the response is a linear function of the functional principal component scores of the predictor process. We relax the linearity assumption and propose to replace it by an additive structure. This leads to a more widely applicable and mu...

We study smooth backfitting when there are errors-in-variables, which is motivated by functional additive models for a functional regression model with a scalar response and multiple functional predictors that are additive in the functional principal components of the predictor processes. The development of a new smooth backfitting technique for the estimation of the additive component function...

In this paper, we consider orthogonal stability of mixed type additive and cubic functional equation of the form $$f(2x+y)+f(2x-y)-f(4x)=2f (x+y)+2f(x-y)-8f(2x) +10f(x)-2f(-x),$$ with $xbot y$, where $bot$ is orthogonality in the sense of Ratz.
متن کاملAdditive Modeling of Functional Gradients
We consider the problem of estimating functional derivatives and gradients in the framework of a functional regression setting where one observes functional predictors and scalar responses. Derivatives are then defined as functional directional derivatives which indicate how changes in the predictor function in a specified functional direction are associated with corresponding changes in the sc...
