Abstract:

In functional data analysis it is often of interest to estimate the principal component functions. A recently proposed method for nonparametric covariance function estimation using a reproducing kernel Hilbert space framework allows for closed form estimates of the principal component functions, thus alleviating the need for discretization and numerical approximation. We discuss this approach and develop a spatial model for functional data where the curves are represented by a principal component function basis and spatial dependence is modelled through the coefficients.
