Regression Analysis of Asynchronous Longitudinal Functional and Scalar Data
异步纵向函数型与标量数据的回归分析
Many modern large-scale longitudinal neuroimaging studies, such as the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) study, have collected/are collecting asynchronous scalar and functional variables that are measured at distinct time points. The analyses of temporally asynchronous functional and scalar variables pose major technical challenges to many existing statistical approaches. We propose a class of generalized functional partial-linear varying-coefficient models…
