The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

© 2021 Institute of Statistical Science. All rights reserved.For functional regression models with functional responses, we propose a nonparametric random-effects model using Gaussian process priors. The proposed model captures the heterogeneity nonlinearly and the covariance structure nonparametrically, enabling longitudinal studies of functional data. The model also has a flexible form of mean structure. We develop a procedure to estimate the unknown parameters and calculate the random effects nonparametrically. The procedure uses a penalized least squares regression and a maximum a posterior estimate, yielding a more accurate prediction. The statistical theory is discussed, including information consistency. Simulation studies and two real-data examples show that the proposed method performs well.
