We propose a functional linear model to predict a response using multiple functional and longitudinal predictors and to estimate the effect lags of predictors. The coefficient functions are written as the expansion of a basis system (e.g.…
It is often of interest to make inference on an unknown function that is a local parameter of the data-generating mechanism, such as a density or regression function. Such estimands can typically only be estimated at a…
We consider nonparametric functional regression when both predictors and responses are functions. More specifically, we let $(X_1,Y_1),...,(X_n,Y_n)$ be random elements in $\mathcal{F}\times\mathcal{H}$ where $\mathcal{F}$ is a semi-metric…
Sparse additive models are families of $d$-variate functions that have the additive decomposition $f^* = \sum_{j \in S} f^*_j$, where $S$ is an unknown subset of cardinality $s \ll d$. In this paper, we consider the case where each…
We present here a new method for approximating functions defined on superreflexive Banach spaces by differentiable functions with $\alpha$-H\"older derivatives (for some $0<\alpha\leq 1$). The smooth approximation is given by means of an…
Semi-functional linear regression models postulate a linear relationship between a scalar response and a functional covariate, and also include a non-parametric component involving a univariate explanatory variable. It is of practical…
We consider the problem of estimating the value of a linear functional in nonparametric instrumental regression, where in the presence of an instrument W a response Y is modeled in dependence of an endogenous explanatory variable Z. The…
We consider the problem of estimating the regression function in functional linear regression models by proposing a new type of projection estimators which combine dimension reduction and thresholding. The introduction of a threshold rule…

We study a regression problem on a compact manifold M. In order to take advantage of the underlying geometry and topology of the data, the regression task is performed on the basis of the first several eigenfunctions of the Laplace-Beltrami…
We consider PDE constrained nonparametric regression problems in which the parameter $f$ is the unknown coefficient function of a second order elliptic partial differential operator $L_f$, and the unique solution $u_f$ of the boundary value…
This paper addresses the problem of estimating a convex regression function under both the sup-norm risk and the pointwise risk using B-splines. The presence of the convex constraint complicates various issues in asymptotic analysis,…
We introduce an original method of multidimensional ridge penalization in functional local linear regressions. The nonparametric regression of functional data is extended from its multivariate counterpart, and is known to be sensitive to…
Sparse additive models are an attractive choice in circumstances calling for modelling flexibility in the face of high dimensionality. We study the signal detection problem and establish the minimax separation rate for the detection of a…
We consider the problem of non-parametric regression with a potentially large number of covariates. We propose a convex, penalized estimation framework that is particularly well-suited for high-dimensional sparse additive models. The…
Evaluating treatments received by one population for application to a different target population of scientific interest is a central problem in causal inference from observational studies. We study the minimax linear estimator of the…
We describe a method to perform functional operations on probability distributions of random variables. The method uses reproducing kernel Hilbert space representations of probability distributions, and it is applicable to all operations…
The regression function is one of the key objects of binary classification, since it not only determines a Bayes optimal classifier, hence, defines an optimal decision boundary, but also encodes the conditional distribution of the output…
In this paper, we develop a kernel-based policy iteration functional learning framework for computing team-optimal strategies in traffic coordination problems. We consider a multi-agent discrete-time linear system with a cost function that…
We place ourselves in a functional regression setting and propose a novel methodology for regressing a real output on vector-valued functional covariates. This methodology is based on the notion of signature, which is a representation of a…
