ccb.fpc {refund}

Corrected confidence bands using functional principal components

Description

Uses iterated expectation and variances to obtain corrected estimates and inference for functional expansions.

Usage

ccb.fpc(
  Y,
  argvals = NULL,
  nbasis = 10,
  pve = 0.99,
  n.boot = 100,
  simul = FALSE,
  sim.alpha = 0.95
)

Arguments

Y

matrix of observed functions for which estimates and covariance matrices are desired.

argvals

numeric; function argument.

nbasis

number of splines used in the estimation of the mean function and the bivariate smoothing of the covariance matrix

pve

proportion of variance explained used to choose the number of principal components to be included in the expansion.

n.boot

number of bootstrap iterations used to estimate the distribution of FPC decomposition objects.

simul

TRUE or FALSE, indicating whether critical values for simultaneous confidence intervals should be estimated

sim.alpha

alpha level of the simultaneous intervals.

Details

To obtain corrected curve estimates and variances, this function accounts for uncertainty in FPC decomposition objects. Observed curves are resampled, and a FPC decomposition for each sample is constructed. A mixed-model framework is used to estimate curves and variances conditional on each decomposition, and iterated expectation and variances combines both model-based and decomposition-based uncertainty.

Value

Yhat

a matrix whose rows are the estimates of the curves in Y.

Yhat.boot

a list containing the estimated curves within each bootstrap iteration.

diag.var

diagonal elements of the covariance matrices for each estimated curve.

VarMats

a list containing the estimated covariance matrices for each curve in Y.

crit.val

estimated critical values for constructing simultaneous confidence intervals.
