In refunders/refund: Regression with Functional Data

Function-on-scalar regression

Description

Fit linear regression with functional responses and scalar predictors, with efficient selection of optimal smoothing parameters.

Usage

fosr(
  formula = NULL,
  Y = NULL,
  fdobj = NULL,
  data = NULL,
  X,
  con = NULL,
  argvals = NULL,
  method = c("OLS", "GLS", "mix"),
  gam.method = c("REML", "ML", "GCV.Cp", "GACV.Cp", "P-REML", "P-ML"),
  cov.method = c("naive", "mod.chol"),
  lambda = NULL,
  nbasis = 15,
  norder = 4,
  pen.order = 2,
  multi.sp = ifelse(method == "OLS", FALSE, TRUE),
  pve = 0.99,
  max.iter = 1,
  maxlam = NULL,
  cv1 = FALSE,
  scale = FALSE
)

Arguments

formula	Formula for fitting fosr. If used, data argument must not be null.
Y, fdobj	the functional responses, given as either an n\times d matrix Y or a functional data object (class "fd") as in the fda package.
data	data frame containing the predictors and responses.
X	the model matrix, whose columns represent scalar predictors. Should ordinarily include a column of 1s.
con	a row vector or matrix of linear contrasts of the coefficient functions, to be constrained to equal zero.
argvals	the d argument values at which the coefficient functions will be evaluated.
method	estimation method: "OLS" for penalized ordinary least squares, "GLS" for penalized generalized least squares, "mix" for mixed effect models.
gam.method	smoothing parameter selection method, to be passed to gam: "REML" for restricted maximum likelihood, "GCV.Cp" for generalized cross-validation.
cov.method	covariance estimation method: the current options are naive or modified Cholesky. See Details.
lambda	smoothing parameter value. If NULL, the smoothing parameter(s) will be estimated. See Details.
nbasis, norder	number of basis functions, and order of splines (the default, 4, gives cubic splines), for the B-spline basis used to represent the coefficient functions. When the functional responses are supplied using fdobj, these arguments are ignored in favor of the values pertaining to the supplied object.
pen.order	order of derivative penalty.
multi.sp	a logical value indicating whether separate smoothing parameters should be estimated for each coefficient function. Currently must be FALSE if method = "OLS".
pve	if method = 'mix', the percentage of variance explained by the principal components; defaults to 0.99.
max.iter	maximum number of iterations if method = "GLS".
maxlam	maximum smoothing parameter value to consider (when lamvec=NULL; see lofocv).
cv1	logical value indicating whether a cross-validation score should be computed even if a single fixed lambda is specified (when method = "OLS").
scale	logical value or vector determining scaling of the matrix X (see scale, to which the value of this argument is passed).

Details

The GLS method requires estimating the residual covariance matrix, which has dimension d\times d when the responses are given by Y, or nbasis\times nbasis when they are given by fdobj. When cov.method = "naive", the ordinary sample covariance is used. But this will be singular, or nonsingular but unstable, in high-dimensional settings, which are typical. cov.method = "mod.chol" implements the modified Cholesky method of Pourahmadi (1999) for estimation of covariance matrices whose inverse is banded. The number of bands is chosen to maximize the p-value for a sphericity test (Ledoit and Wolf, 2002) applied to the "prewhitened" residuals. Note, however, that the banded inverse covariance assumption is sometimes inappropriate, e.g., for periodic functional responses.

There are three types of values for argument lambda:

1. if NULL, the smoothing parameter is estimated by gam (package mgcv) if method = "GLS", or by optimize if method = "OLS";

2. if a scalar, this value is used as the smoothing parameter (but only for the initial model, if method = "GLS");

3. if a vector, this is used as a grid of values for optimizing the cross-validation score (provided method = "OLS"; otherwise an error message is issued).

Please note that currently, if multi.sp = TRUE, then lambda must be NULL and method must be "GLS".

Value

An object of class fosr, which is a list with the following elements:

fd	object of class "fd" representing the estimated coefficient functions. Its main components are a basis and a matrix of coefficients with respect to that basis.
pca.resid	if method = "mix", an object representing a functional PCA of the residuals, performed by fpca.sc if the responses are in raw form or by pca.fd if in functional-data-object form.
U	if method = "mix", an n\times m matrix of random effects, where m is the number of functional PC's needed to explain proportion pve of the residual variance. These random effects can be interpreted as shrunken FPC scores.
yhat, resid	objects of the same form as the functional responses (see arguments Y and fdobj), giving the fitted values and residuals.
est.func	matrix of values of the coefficient function estimates at the points given by argvals.
se.func	matrix of values of the standard error estimates for the coefficient functions, at the points given by argvals.
argvals	points at which the coefficient functions are evaluated.
fit	fit object outputted by amc.
edf	effective degrees of freedom of the fit.
lambda	smoothing parameter, or vector of smoothing parameters.
cv	cross-validated integrated squared error if method="OLS", otherwise NULL.
roughness	value of the roughness penalty.
resp.type	"raw" or "fd", indicating whether the responses were supplied in raw or functional-data-object form.
