Simultaneous Inference For The Mean Function Based on Dense Functional Data.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A polynomial spline estimator is proposed for the mean function of dense functional data together with a simultaneous confidence band which is asymptotically correct. In addition, the spline estimator and its accompanying confidence band enjoy oracle efficiency in the sense that they are asymptotically the same as if all random trajectories are observed entirely and without errors. The confidence band is also extended to the difference of mean functions of two populations of functional data. Simulation experiments provide strong evidence that corroborates the asymptotic theory while computing is efficient. The confidence band procedure is illustrated by analyzing the near infrared spectroscopy data.

Inference for Functional Data with Covariate Adjustments: From Sparse to Dense and Everything In-Between
We consider inference for the mean and covariance functions of covariate adjusted functional data using Local Linear Kernel (LLK) estimators. By means of a double asymptotic, we differentiate between “sparse” and “dense” covariate adjusted functional data – depending on the relative order of m (discretization points per function) and n (number of functions). Our simulation results demonstrate t...
متن کاملInference for a Linear Functional of Cumulative Hazard Function Via Empirical Likelihood
Owen (1988, 1990) constructed a confidence interval for a general functional without censoring. Linear functional of cumulative hazard function provides a flexible choice for medical researchers to assess effectiveness of treatments, which include (a) partial mean lifetime, (b) distribution function, and (c) cumulative hazard function. In this article, we consider two linear functionals of cumu...
متن کاملComparison of two QTL mapping approaches based on Bayesian inference using high-dense SNPs markers
To compare different QTL mapping methods, a population with genotypic and phenotypic data was simulated. In Bayesian approach, all information of markers can be used along with combination of distributions of SNP markers. It is assumed that most of the markers (95%) have minor effects and a few numbers of markers (5%) exert major effects. The simulated population included a basic population of ...
متن کاملComparing Unilateral and Bilateral Total Knee Replacement Based on the Functional Approach
Purpose: Total Knee Replacement (TKR) is the treatment of choice for severe osteoarthritis with acceptable outcomes regarding pain management, function and quality of life enhancement. Because many patients require TKR procedure for their both knees, there has always been a challenge in the choice of simultaneous or consecutive operations. The aim of the present study was to compare the t...
متن کاملUnified inference for sparse and dense longitudinal models.
In longitudinal data analysis, statistical inference for sparse data and dense data could be substantially different. For kernel smoothing estimate of the mean function, the convergence rates and limiting variance functions are different under the two scenarios. The latter phenomenon poses challenges for statistical inference as a subjective choice between the sparse and dense cases may lead to...
