Varying Coefficient Models for Sparse Noise-contaminated Longitudinal Data.
In this paper we propose a varying coefficient model for highly sparse longitudinal data that allows for error-prone time-dependent variables and time-invariant covariates. We develop a new estimation procedure, based on covariance representation techniques, that enables effective borrowing of information across all subjects in sparse and irregular longitudinal data observed with measurement er...
متن کاملA Functional Multiplicative Effects Model for Longitudinal Data, with Application to Reproductive Histories of Female Medflies.
We investigate the fitting of response curves in the presence of a continuous covariate. A model is presented in which the expected random response curves, viewed as functions of time and conditional on the covariate, are products of a smooth mean function of time and a smooth function of the covariate. We propose a simple and straightforward estimation scheme for the component functions of the...
متن کاملA Simultaneous Confidence Band for Sparse Longitudinal Regression.
Functional data analysis has received considerable recent attention and a number of successful applications have been reported. In this paper, asymptotically simultaneous confidence bands are obtained for the mean function of the functional regression model, using piecewise constant spline estimation. Simulation experiments corroborate the asymptotic theory. The confidence band procedure is ill...
متن کاملFunctional and Longitudinal Data Analysis: Perspectives on Smoothing
The perspectives and methods of functional data analysis and longitudinal data analysis are contrasted and compared. Topics include kernel methods and random effects models for smoothing, basis function methods, and examination of the relation of covariates to curve shapes. Some directions in which methodology might advance are identified.
متن کاملFast covariance estimation for sparse functional data
Smoothing of noisy sample covariances is an important component in functional data analysis. We propose a novel covariance smoothing method based on penalized splines and associated software. The proposed method is a bivariate spline smoother that is designed for covariance smoothing and can be used for sparse functional or longitudinal data. We propose a fast algorithm for covariance smoothing...
