af: Construct an FGAM regression term

In refund: Regression with Functional Data

Construct an FGAM regression term

Description

Defines a term \int_{T}F(X_i(t),t)dt for inclusion in an mgcv::gam-formula (or {bam} or {gamm} or gamm4:::gamm) as constructed by {pfr}, where F(x,t) is an unknown smooth bivariate function and X_i(t) is a functional predictor on the closed interval T. See {smooth.terms} for a list of bivariate basis and penalty options; the default is a tensor product basis with marginal cubic regression splines for estimating F(x,t).

Usage

af(
  X,
  argvals = NULL,
  xind = NULL,
  basistype = c("te", "t2", "s"),
  integration = c("simpson", "trapezoidal", "riemann"),
  L = NULL,
  presmooth = NULL,
  presmooth.opts = NULL,
  Xrange = range(X, na.rm = T),
  Qtransform = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

X	functional predictors, typically expressed as an N by J matrix, where N is the number of columns and J is the number of evaluation points. May include missing/sparse functions, which are indicated by NA values. Alternatively, can be an object of class "fd"; see [fda]{fd}.
argvals	indices of evaluation of X, i.e. (t_{i1},.,t_{iJ}) for subject i. May be entered as either a length-J vector, or as an N by J matrix. Indices may be unequally spaced. Entering as a matrix allows for different observations times for each subject. If NULL, defaults to an equally-spaced grid between 0 or 1 (or within X$basis$rangeval if X is a fd object.)
xind	same as argvals. It will not be supported in the next version of refund.
basistype	defaults to "te", i.e. a tensor product spline to represent F(x,t) Alternatively, use "s" for bivariate basis functions (see {s}) or "t2" for an alternative parameterization of tensor product splines (see {t2})
integration	method used for numerical integration. Defaults to "simpson"'s rule for calculating entries in L. Alternatively and for non-equidistant grids, "trapezoidal" or "riemann".
L	an optional N by ncol(argvals) matrix giving the weights for the numerical integration over t. If present, overrides integration.
presmooth	string indicating the method to be used for preprocessing functional predictor prior to fitting. Options are fpca.sc, fpca.face, fpca.ssvd, fpca.bspline, and fpca.interpolate. Defaults to NULL indicateing no preprocessing. See {create.prep.func}.
presmooth.opts	list including options passed to preprocessing method {create.prep.func}.
Xrange	numeric; range to use when specifying the marginal basis for the x-axis. It may be desired to increase this slightly over the default of range(X) if concerned about predicting for future observed curves that take values outside of range(X)
Qtransform	logical; should the functional be transformed using the empirical cdf and applying a quantile transformation on each column of X prior to fitting?
...	optional arguments for basis and penalization to be passed to the function indicated by basistype. These could include, for example, "bs", "k", "m", etc. See {te} or {s} for details.

Value

A list with the following entries:

call	a "call" to te (or s, t2) using the appropriately constructed covariate and weight matrices.
argvals	the argvals argument supplied to af
L	the matrix of weights used for the integration
xindname	the name used for the functional predictor variable in the formula used by mgcv
tindname	the name used for argvals variable in the formula used by mgcv
Lname	the name used for the L variable in the formula used by mgcv
presmooth	the presmooth argument supplied to af
Xrange	the Xrange argument supplied to af
prep.func	a function that preprocesses data based on the preprocessing method specified in presmooth. See {create.prep.func}
