Generalized Linear Models with Functional Predictors

Functional Adaptive Model Estimation

In this article we are interested in modeling the relationship between a scalar, Y , and a functional predictor, X(t). We introduce a highly flexible approach called ”Functional Adaptive Model Estimation” (FAME) which extends generalized linear models (GLM), generalized additive models (GAM) and projection pursuit regression (PPR) to handle functional predictors. The FAME approach can model any...

Functional generalized linear models with images as predictors.

Functional principal component regression (FPCR) is a promising new method for regressing scalar outcomes on functional predictors. In this article, we present a theoretical justification for the use of principal components in functional regression. FPCR is then extended in two directions: from linear to the generalized linear modeling, and from univariate signal predictors to high-resolution i...

Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Parameters in Generalized Functional Linear Model

Sometimes, in practice, data are a function of another variable, which is called functional data. If the scalar response variable is categorical or discrete, and the covariates are functional, then a generalized functional linear model is used to analyze this type of data. In this paper, a truncated generalized functional linear model is studied and a maximum likelihood approach is used to esti...

Variable Selection in Generalized Functional Linear Models.

Modern research data, where a large number of functional predictors is collected on few subjects are becoming increasingly common. In this paper we propose a variable selection technique, when the predictors are functional and the response is scalar. Our approach is based on adopting a generalized functional linear model framework and using a penalized likelihood method that simultaneously cont...
