Minimax adaptive tests for the Functional Linear model
نویسندگان
چکیده
. We introduce two novel procedures to test the nullity of the slope function in the functional linear model with real output. The test statistics combine multiple testing ideas and random projections of the input data through functional Principal Component Analysis. Interestingly, the procedures are completely datadriven and do not require any prior knowledge on the smoothness of the slope nor on the smoothness of the covariate functions. The levels and powers against local alternatives are assessed in a nonasymptotic setting. This allows us to prove that these procedures are minimax adaptive (up to an unavoidable log logn multiplicative term) to the unknown regularity of the slope. As a side result, the minimax separation distances of the slope are derived for a large range of regularity classes. A numerical study illustrates these theoretical results.

Minimax and Adaptive Prediction for Functional Linear Regression
This paper considers minimax and adaptive prediction with functional predictors in the framework of functional linear model and reproducing kernel Hilbert space. Minimax rate of convergence for the excess prediction risk is established. It is shown that the optimal rate is determined jointly by the reproducing kernel and the covariance kernel. In particular, the alignment of these two kernels c...

We consider the testing problem in a fixed-effects functional analysis of variance model. We test the null hypotheses that the functional main effects and the functional interactions are zeros against the composite nonparametric alternative hypotheses that they are separated away from zero in L2-norm and also possess some smoothness properties. We adapt the optimal (minimax) hypothesis testing ...

متن کاملNon-asymptotic adaptive prediction in functional linear models
Functional linear regression has recently attracted considerable interest. Many works focus on asymptotic inference. In this paper we consider in a non asymptotic framework a simple estimation procedure based on functional Principal Regression. It revolves in the minimization of a least square contrast coupled with a classical projection on the space spanned by the m first empirical eigenvector...
