FSEM: Functional Structural Equation Models for Twin Functional Data
FSEM:双胞胎函数型数据的函数型结构方程模型
The aim of this paper is to develop a novel class of functional structural equation models (FSEMs) for dissecting functional genetic and environmental effects on twin functional data, while characterizing the varying association between functional data and covariates of interest. We propose a three-stage estimation procedure to estimate varying coefficient functions for various covariates (e.g., gender) as well as three covariance operators for the genetic and environmental…
