Covariate-informed reconstruction of partially observed functional data via factor models
利用协变量与因子模型重建部分观测的函数型数据
This paper studies linear reconstruction of partially observed functional data which are recorded on a discrete grid. We propose a novel estimation approach based on approximate factor models with increasing rank taking into account potential covariate information. Whereas alternative reconstruction procedures commonly involve some preliminary smoothing, our method separates the signal from noise and reconstructs missing fragments at once. We establish uniform convergence…
