Abstract:

Multidimensional functional data are becoming more common in various domains such as climate studies, neuroimaging and chemometrics. In this talk I will present a low-rank nonparametric covariance function estimator for multidimensional functional data. It is based on an efficient spectral regularization of an operator associated with a possibly infinite-dimensional reproducing kernel Hilbert space. I will discuss the corresponding numerical and theoretical results.
