Arguments

Z

a data matrix. Z is the treatment trajectory in the mediation analysis. The number of rows is the number of subjects, and the number of columns is the number of measured time points.

M

a data matrix. M is the mediator trajectory in the mediation analysis. The number of rows is the number of subjects, and the number of columns is the number of measured time points.

Y

a data matrix. Y is the outcome trajectory in the mediation analysis. The number of rows is the number of subjects, and the number of columns is the number of measured time points.

delta.grid1

a number indicates the width of treatment-mediator time interval in the mediator model.

delta.grid2

a number indicates the width of treatment-outcome time interval in the outcome model.

delta.grid3

a number indicates the width of mediator-outcome time interval in the outcome model.

intercept

a logic variable. Default is TRUE, an intercept term is included in the regression model.

basis1

a data matrix. Basis function on the s domain used in the functional data analysis. The number of columns is the number of basis function considered. If basis = NULL, Fourier basis functions will be generated.

Ld2.basis1

a data matrix. The second derivative of the basis function on the s domain. The number of columns is the number of basis function considered. If Ld2.basis = NULL, the second derivative of Fourier basis functions will be generated.

basis2

a data matrix. Basis function on the t domain used in the functional data analysis. The number of columns is the number of basis function considered. If basis = NULL, Fourier basis functions will be generated.

Ld2.basis2

a data matrix. The second derivative of the basis function on the t domain. The number of columns is the number of basis function considered. If Ld2.basis = NULL, the second derivative of Fourier basis functions will be generated.

basis.type

a character of basis function type. Default is Fourier basis (basis.type = "fourier").

nbasis1

an integer, the number of basis function on the s domain included. If basis1 is provided, this argument will be ignored.

nbasis2

an integer, the number of basis function on the t domain included. If basis2 is provided, this argument will be ignored.

timeinv

a numeric vector of length two, the time interval considered in the analysis. Default is (0,1).

timegrids

a numeric vector of time grids of measurement. If timegrids = NULL, it is assumed the between measurement time interval is constant.

lambda1.m

a numeric vector of tuning parameter values on the s domain in the mediator model.

lambda2.m

a numeric vector of tuning parameter values on the t domain in the mediator model.

lambda1.y

a numeric vector of tuning parameter values on the s domain in the outcome model.

lambda2.y

a numeric vector of tuning parameter values on the t domain in the outcome model.

Details

The historical influence mediation model is

M(t)=\int_{Ω_{t}^{1}}Z(s)α(s,t)ds+ε_{1}(t),

Y(t)=\int_{Ω_{t}^{2}}Z(s)γ(s,t)ds+\int_{Ω_{t}^{3}}M(s)β(s,t)ds+ε_{2}(t),

where α(s,t), β(s,t), γ(s,t) are coefficient curves; Ω_{t}^{j}=[(t-δ_{j})\vee 0,t] for j=1,2,3. The model coefficient curves are estimated by minimizing the penalized L_{2}-loss.

Value
