In this paper, we consider the scalar-on-function linear regression model under a realistic sampling scheme in which the functional covariates are observed on a regular grid and contaminated by additive noise. We propose a two-step estimation procedure: first, the underlying curves are reconstructed from the discrete noisy observations using a Fourier-based projection method; second, the slope function is estimated by a penalized least-squares criterion over finite-dimensional trigonometric spaces, with data-driven selection of the model dimension. We establish oracle-type inequalities for the prediction error, both with respect to the reconstructed curves and to the true latent curves. Under regularity assumptions on the slope function and polynomial decay of the eigenvalues of the covariate, we derive convergence rates for the prediction error and show that our estimator attains the minimax rate when the number of grid points is sufficiently large. Finally, the proposed method is illustrated on simulated data and on a real meteorological dataset.
We consider the problem of scalar-on-function regression. Most existing methods implicitly assume that the functional covariates are observed exactly, but in practice, they are often contaminated by measurement error. Our goal, therefore, is to deal with the problem of scalar-on-function regression when the regressor f...

A novel approach is proposed, referred to as pooling ridge estimation, which combines the advantages of pooling strategy and RKHS-based method by incorporating the unbiased estimation of operators based on discretely observed measurements from all subjects, to achieve minimax optimality in prediction risk in arbitrary...
We study the mean function of longitudinal functional data, where each subject contributes a small number of complete profiles over a general domain, observed at random visit times. The mean is projected onto an orthonormal basis in the time direction, and each coefficient function is estimated by a weighted average of...
Parameter estimation for ordinary differential equation (ODE) models is a fundamental task that is often complicated by the limitations of conventional optimization-based methods. In theory, differential-algebraic approaches offer an appealing alternative: they reduce the problem to polynomial system solving and do not...

We develop a model-agnostic framework for noise reduction in high-dimensional time series that explicitly targets optimal recovery of a low-dimensional latent dynamic component contaminated by observational white noise. Under the assumption that the latent dynamics live in a low-dimensional linear dynamic subspace, we...
