Abstract:

This paper studies the functional linear Cox model, in which the covariate is a functional. The coefficient function is assumed to be in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. An easily implementable roughness regularization method is used to obtain the estimate. Asymptotic properties of the maximum partial likelihood estimate with right-censored data are established. It is shown that this estimate achieves the optimal rate of convergence. Simulation studies are carried out to illustrate the merit of the estimate.
