Functional Principal Component Regression and Functional Partial Least Squares
函数型主成分回归与函数型偏最小二乘
Regression of a scalar response on signal predictors, such as near-infrared (NIR) spectra of chemical samples, presents a major challenge when, as is typically the case, the dimension of the signals far exceeds their number. Most solutions to this problem reduce the dimension of the predictors either by regressing on components [e.g., principal component regression (PCR) and partial least squares (PLS)] or by smoothing methods, which restrict the coefficient function to the…
