Details: | Abstract Regression models with functional response and functional covariates have recently received significant attention. While various nonparametric and semiparametric models have been developed, there is an urgent need for model selection and diagnostic methods. We will present a unified framework for estimation and model selection in nonparametric function-on-function regression. We consider a general nonparametric functional regression model with the model space constructed through smoothing spline analysis of variance (SS ANOVA). The proposed model reduces to some existing models when selected components in the SS ANOVA decomposition are eliminated. We propose new estimation procedures under either L1 or L2 penalty and show that combining the SS ANOVA decomposition and the L1 penalty provides powerful tools for model selection and diagnostics. |
