Comparison of Deep Learning Methods for Functional Data
摘要
In this study, we explore the use of deep learning methods to perform functional regression models, highlighting their potential in analyzing and predicting functional data. Recent advancements in neural operators have paved the way for models like the Fourier Neural Operator (FNO) and Neural Operator Flows (OpFlow), which are capable of learning complex mappings between infinitedimensional function spaces. Additionally, we discuss the Function Direct Neural Network model (FDNN), Deep Functional Multiple index Models (DFMM) and Adaptive Functional Neural Network (AdaFNN) to increase the flexibility of functional regression tasks. We present a comparative analysis of these deep functional networks, on simulations and on two case studies: Tecator and Building Occupancy datasets.
