A note on estimation in Hilbertian linear models (1208.2895v3)
Published 14 Aug 2012 in math.ST and stat.TH
Abstract: We study estimation and prediction in linear models where the response and the regressor variable both take values in some Hilbert space. Our main objective is to obtain consistency of a principal components based estimator for the regression operator under minimal assumptions. In particular, we avoid some inconvenient technical restrictions that have been used throughout the literature. We develop our theory in a time dependent setup which comprises as important special case the autoregressive Hilbertian model.
