Abstract Both varying-coefficient and additive models have been studied extensively in the literature as extensions to linear models. They have also been extended to functional response data. However, existing extensions are still not sufficiently flexible to reflect the functional feature of the responses. In this paper, we extend both varying-coefficient and additive models to a much more fle...

In this paper, we study a first order random coefficient autoregressive model with Laplace distribution as marginal. A random coefficient moving average model of order one with Laplace as marginal distribution is introduced and its properties are studied. By combining the two models, we develop a first order random coefficient autoregressive moving average model with Laplace marginal and discus...
