We are interested in functional linear regression when some observations of the real response are missing, while the functional covariate is completely observed. A complete case regression imputation method of missing data is presented, using functional principal component regression to estimate the functional coefficient of the model. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the error when the missing data are replaced by the regression imputed value, in a 'missing at random' framework. The completed database can be used to estimate the functional coefficient of the model and to predict new values of the response. The practical behaviour of the method is also studied on simulated data sets. A real dataset illustration is performed in the environmental context of air quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
