Sparsely observed functional time series: estimation and prediction

Functional time series analysis, whether based on time or frequency domain methodology, has traditionally been carried out under the assumption of complete observation of the constituent series of curves, assumed stationary. Nevertheless, as is often the c ...

Functional lagged regression with sparse noisy observations

Victor Panaretos, Tomas Rubin

A functional (lagged) time series regression model involves the regression of scalar response time series on a time series of regressors that consists of a sequence of random functions. In practice, the underlying regressor curve time series are not always ...

Recovering covariance from functional fragments

Victor Panaretos, Marie-Hélène Descary

We consider nonparametric estimation of a covariance function on the unit square, given a sample of discretely observed fragments of functional data. When each sample path is observed only on a subinterval of length , one has no statistical information on ...

Statistical Aspects of Wasserstein Distances

Victor Panaretos, Yoav Zemel

Wasserstein distances are metrics on probability distributions inspired by the problem of optimal mass transportation. Roughly speaking, they measure the minimal effort required to reconfigure the probability mass of one distribution in order to recover th ...

Procrustes Metrics on Covariance Operators and Optimal Transportation of Gaussian Processes

Victor Panaretos, Yoav Zemel, Valentina Masarotto

Covariance operators are fundamental in functional data analysis, providing the canonical means to analyse functional variation via the celebrated Karhunen-Loeve expansion. These operators may themselves be subject to variation, for instance in contexts wh ...

Hybrid regularisation and the (in)admissibility of ridge regression in infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces

Victor Panaretos, Anirvan Chakraborty

We consider the problem of estimating the slope function in a functional regression with a scalar response and a functional covariate. This central problem of functional data analysis is well known to be ill-posed, thus requiring a regularised estimation p ...

Functional Data Analysis By Matrix Completion1

Victor Panaretos, Marie-Hélène Descary

Functional data analyses typically proceed by smoothing, followed by functional PCA. This paradigm implicitly assumes that rough variation is due to nuisance noise. Nevertheless, relevant functional features such as time-localised or short scale fluctuatio ...

Fréchet means and Procrustes analysis in Wasserstein space

Victor Panaretos, Yoav Zemel

We consider two statistical problems at the intersection of functional and non-Euclidean data analysis: the determination of a Fréchet mean in the Wasserstein space of multivariate distributions; and the optimal registration of deformed random measures and ...

Methodology And Convergence Rates For Functional Time Series Regression

Victor Panaretos, Tung Huy Pham

The functional linear model extends the notion of linear regression to the case where the response and covariates are iid elements of an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. The unknown to be estimated is a Hilbert-Schmidt operator, whose inverse is by defi ...

Amplitude And Phase Variation Of Point Processes

Victor Panaretos, Yoav Zemel

We develop a canonical framework for the study of the problem of registration of multiple point processes subjected to warping, known as the problem of separation of amplitude and phase variation. The amplitude variation of a real random function {Y(x) : x ...

Detecting and Localizing Differences in Functional Time Series Dynamics: A Case Study in Molecular Biophysics

Shahin Tavakoli, Victor Panaretos

Motivated by the problem of inferring the molecular dynamics of DNA in solution, and linking them with its base-pair composition, we consider the problem of comparing the dynamics of functional time series (FTS), and of localizing any inferred differences ...

Statistical Unfolding Of Elementary Particle Spectra: Empirical Bayes Estimation And Bias-Corrected Uncertainty Quantification

Victor Panaretos, Mikael Johan Kuusela

We consider the high energy physics unfolding problem where the goal is to estimate the spectrum of elementary particles given observations distorted by the limited resolution of a particle detector. This important statistical inverse problem arising in da ...

Frequentist estimation of an epidemic's spreading potential when observations are scarce

Victor Panaretos, Andrea Kraus

We consider the problem of inferring the potential of an epidemic for escalating into a pandemic on the basis of limited observations in its initial stages. Classical results of Becker & Hasofer (J. R. Statist. Soc. B, 59, 415-29) illustrate that frequenti ...

Principal Flows

Victor Panaretos, Tung Huy Pham, Zhigang Yao

We revisit the problem of extending the notion of principal component analysis (PCA) to multivariate datasets that satisfy nonlinear constraints, therefore lying on Riemannian manifolds. Our aim is to determine curves on the manifold that retain their cano ...

Cramer-Karhunen-Loeve representation and harmonic principal component analysis of functional time series

Shahin Tavakoli, Victor Panaretos

We develop a doubly spectral representation of a stationary functional time series, and study the properties of its empirical version. The representation decomposes the time series into an integral of uncorrelated frequency components (Cramer representatio ...

Fourier Analysis Of Stationary Time Series In Function Space

Shahin Tavakoli, Victor Panaretos

We develop the basic building blocks of a frequency domain framework for drawing statistical inferences on the second-order structure of a stationary sequence of functional data. The key element in such a context is the spectral density operator, which gen ...

Nonparametric Construction of Multivariate Kernels

Victor Panaretos, Kjell Konis

We propose a nonparametric method for constructing multivariate kernels tuned to the configuration of the sample, for density estimation in R-d, d moderate. The motivation behind the approach is to break down the construction of the kernel into two parts: ...

Dispersion operators and resistant second-order functional data analysis

Victor Panaretos, David Kraus

Inferences related to the second-order properties of functional data, as expressed by covariance structure, can become unreliable when the data are non-Gaussian or contain unusual observations. In the functional setting, it is often difficult to identify a ...

Asymptotic Inference For Partially Observed Branching Processes

Victor Panaretos, Andrea Kraus

We consider the problem of estimation in a partially observed discrete-time Galton-Watson branching process, focusing on the first two moments of the offspring distribution. Our study is motivated by modelling the counts of new cases at the onset of a stoc ...
