Abstract:
We propose two variations of P-spline signal regression: space-varying
penalization signal regression (SPSR) and additive polynomial signal
regression (APSR). SPSR uses space-varying roughness penalty according
to the estimated coefficients from the partial least-squares (PLS)
regression, while APSR expands the linear basis to polynomial bases.
SPSR and APSR are motivated in the following two scenarios, respectively:
(i) some region(s) of the regressor channels contain more useful
information for prediction than others and (ii) the relationship
between the response and regressor channels is highly nonlinear. We
also extend the methods to the generalized linear regression setting.
As illustration, we apply the methods to two published data sets
showing highly competitive performance.
