Robust Penalized Splines for Location Estimation from Discretely Sampled Functional Data
摘要
We study a broad family of lower-rank spline estimators for the mean of a process X based on discretely sampled functional data observed with measurement error. We derive its rates of convergence under general assumptions and show that the parametric rate n−1 is attainable, even under discretely sampled data with heavytailed distributions of either the functional variable or the measurement error.
