Detection of Interaction Effects in a Nonparametric Concurrent Regression Model

Many methods have been developed to study nonparametric function-on-function regression models. Nevertheless, there is a lack of model selection approach to the regression function as a functional function with functional covariate inputs.

Description
Summary:Many methods have been developed to study nonparametric function-on-function regression models. Nevertheless, there is a lack of model selection approach to the regression function as a functional function with functional covariate inputs. To study interaction effects among these functional covariates, in this article, we first construct a tensor product space of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and build an analysis of variance (ANOVA) decomposition of the tensor product space. We then use a model selection method with the <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>L</mi><mn>1</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula> criterion to estimate the functional function with functional covariate inputs and detect interaction effects among the functional covariates. The proposed method is evaluated using simulations and stroke rehabilitation data.
