Second-derivative Functional Regression with Applications to Near Infra-red Spectroscopy
二阶导数函数型回归及其近红外光谱应用
Summary A linear regression method to predict a scalar from a discretized smooth function is presented. The method takes into account the functional nature of the predictors and the importance of the second derivative in spectroscopic applications. This motivates a functional inner product that can be used as a roughness penalty. Using this inner product, we derive a linear prediction method that is similar to ridge regression but with different shrinkage characteristics. We…
