Abstract:

We propose and study a new class of semiparametric functional regression models motivated by the complex nature of data encountered in modern scientific experiments. With a scalar response, multiple covariates are collected, a large number of which are time-independent and directly observed and a few may be functional with underlying processes. The goal is to jointly model the functional and non-functional predictors, identifying important scalar covariates while taking into account the functional covariate. In particular we exploit a unified linear structure to incorporate the functional predictor as in classical functional linear models that is of nonparametric feature. Simultaneously we include a potentially large number of scalar predictors as the parametric part that may be reduced to a sparse representation. Theoretical and empirical investigation reveals that the efficient estimation regarding important scalar predictors can be obtained and enjoys the oracle property, despite contamination of the noise-prone functional covariate.
