The regression of a functional response on a set of scalar predictors can be a challenging task, especially if there is a large number of predictors, or the relationship between those predictors and the response is nonlinear. In this work,…
As datasets grow it becomes infeasible to process them completely with a desired model. For giant datasets, we frame the order in which computation is performed as a decision problem. The order is designed so that partial computations are…

Multi-collinearity is a wide-spread phenomenon in modern statistical applications and when ignored, can negatively impact model selection and statistical inference. Classic tools and measures that were developed for "$n>p$" data are not…
