fregre.np: Functional regression with scalar response using non-parametric kernel estimation

Description

Computes functional regression between functional explanatory variables and scalar response using kernel estimation. The non-parametric functional regression model can be written as follows $$y_i =r(X_i)+\epsilon_i$$ where the unknown smooth real function $r$ is estimated using kernel estimation by means of $$\hat{r}(X)=\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}{K(h^{-1}d(X,X_{i}))y_{i}}}{\sum_{i=1}^{n}{K(h^{-1}d(X,X_{i}))}}$$ where $K$ is an kernel function (see Ker argument), h is the smoothing parameter and $d$ is a metric or a semi-metric (see metric argument).

Usage

fregre.np(fdataobj,y,h=NULL,Ker=AKer.norm,metric=metric.lp,
type.S=S.NW,par.S=list(w=1),...)

Arguments

fdataobj

fdata class object.

y

Scalar response with length n.

h

Bandwidth, h>0. Default argument values are provided as the 5%--quantile of the distance between fdataobj curves, see h.default.

Ker

Type of asymmetric kernel used, by default asymmetric normal kernel.

metric

Metric function, by default metric.lp.

type.S

Type of smothing matrix S. By default S is calculated by Nadaraya-Watson kernel estimator (S.NW).

par.S

List of parameters for type.S: w, the weights.

...

Arguments to be passed for metric.lp o other metric function.

Value

• Return:
• call
  The matched call.
• fitted.values
  Estimated scalar response.
• H
  Hat matrix.
• residuals
  y minus fitted values.
• df
  The residual degrees of freedom.
• r2
  Coefficient of determination.
• sr2
  Residual variance.
• y
  Response.
• fdataobj
  Functional explanatory data.
• mdist
  Distance matrix between x and newx.
• Ker
  Asymmetric kernel used.
• h.opt
  smoothing parameter or bandwidth.

Details

The distance between curves is calculated using the metric.lp although any other semimetric could be used (see semimetric.basis or semimetric.NPFDA functions). The kernel is applied to a metric or semi-metrics that provides non-negative values, so it is common to use asymmetric kernels. Different asymmetric kernels can be used, see Kernel.asymmetric.
