We propose a nested reduced-rank regression (NRRR) approach in fitting regression model with multivariate functional responses and predictors, to achieve tailored dimension reduction and facilitate interpretation/visualization of the resulting functional model. Our approach is based on a two-level low-rank structure imposed on the functional regression surfaces. A global low-rank structure identifies a small set of latent principal functional responses and predictors that drives the underlying regression association. A local low-rank structure then controls the complexity and smoothness of the association between the principal functional responses and predictors. Through a basis expansion approach, the functional problem boils down to an interesting integrated matrix approximation task, where the blocks or submatrices of an integrated low-rank matrix share some common row space and/or column space. An iterative algorithm with convergence guarantee is developed. We establish the consistency of NRRR and also show through non-asymptotic analysis that it can achieve at least a comparable error rate to that of the reduced-rank regression. Simulation studies demonstrate the effectiveness of NRRR. We apply NRRR in an electricity demand problem, to relate the trajectories of the daily electricity consumption with those of the daily temperatures.

In the multivariate regression, also referred to as multi-task learning in machine learning, the goal is to recover a vector-valued function based on noisy observations. The vector-valued function is often assumed to be of low rank. Although the mult ivariate linear regression is extensively studied in the literature, a theoretical study on the multivariate nonlinear regression is lacking. In this paper, we study reduced rank multivariate kernel ridge regression, proposed by cite{mukherjee2011reduced}. We prove the consistency of the function predictor and provide the convergence rate. An algorithm based on nuclear norm relaxation is proposed. A few numerical examples are presented to show the smaller mean squared prediction error comparing with the elementwise univariate kernel ridge regression.
We propose a multivariate functional responses low rank regression model with possible high dimensional functional responses and scalar covariates. By expanding the slope functions on a set of sieve basis, we reconstruct the basis coefficients as a m atrix. To estimate these coefficients, we propose an efficient procedure using nuclear norm regularization. We also derive error bounds for our estimates and evaluate our method using simulations. We further apply our method to the Human Connectome Project neuroimaging data to predict cortical surface motor task-evoked functional magnetic resonance imaging signals using various clinical covariates to illustrate the usefulness of our results.
Radiomics involves the study of tumor images to identify quantitative markers explaining cancer heterogeneity. The predominant approach is to extract hundreds to thousands of image features, including histogram features comprised of summaries of the marginal distribution of pixel intensities, which leads to multiple testing problems and can miss out on insights not contained in the selected features. In this paper, we present methods to model the entire marginal distribution of pixel intensities via the quantile function as functional data, regressed on a set of demographic, clinical, and genetic predictors. We call this approach quantile functional regression, regressing subject-specific marginal distributions across repeated measurements on a set of covariates, allowing us to assess which covariates are associated with the distribution in a global sense, as well as to identify distributional features characterizing these differences, including mean, variance, skewness, and various upper and lower quantiles. To account for smoothness in the quantile functions, we introduce custom basis functions we call quantlets that are sparse, regularized, near-lossless, and empirically defined, adapting to the features of a given data set. We fit this model using a Bayesian framework that uses nonlinear shrinkage of quantlet coefficients to regularize the functional regression coefficients and provides fully Bayesian inference after fitting a Markov chain Monte Carlo. We demonstrate the benefit of the basis space modeling through simulation studies, and apply the method to Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based radiomic dataset from Glioblastoma Multiforme to relate imaging-based quantile functions to demographic, clinical, and genetic predictors, finding specific differences in tumor pixel intensity distribution between males and females and between tumors with and without DDIT3 mutations.
The study of the dynamic behavior of cross-sectional ranks over time for functional data and the ranks of the observed curves at each time point and their temporal evolution can yield valuable insights into the time dynamics of functional data. This approach is of interest in various application areas. For the analysis of the dynamics of ranks, estimation of the cross-sectional ranks of functional data is a first step. Several statistics of interest for ranked functional data are proposed. To quantify the evolution of ranks over time, a model for rank derivatives is introduced, where rank dynamics are decomposed into two components. One component corresponds to population changes and the other to individual changes that both affect the rank trajectories of individuals. The joint asymptotic normality for suitable estimates of these two components is established. The proposed approaches are illustrated with simulations and three longitudinal data sets: Growth curves obtained from the Zurich Longitudinal Growth Study, monthly house price data in the US from 1996 to 2015 and Major League Baseball offensive data for the 2017 season.
In this paper, we develop a quantile functional regression modeling framework that models the distribution of a set of common repeated observations from a subject through the quantile function, which is regressed on a set of covariates to determine h ow these factors affect various aspects of the underlying subject-specific distribution. To account for smoothness in the quantile functions, we introduce custom basis functions we call textit{quantlets} that are sparse, regularized, near-lossless, and empirically defined, adapting to the features of a given data set and containing a Gaussian subspace so {non-Gaussianness} can be assessed. While these quantlets could be used within various functional regression frameworks, we build a Bayesian framework that uses nonlinear shrinkage of quantlet coefficients to regularize the functional regression coefficients and allows fully Bayesian inferences after fitting a Markov chain Monte Carlo. Specifically, we apply global tests to assess which covariates have any effect on the distribution at all, followed by local tests to identify at which specific quantiles the differences lie while adjusting for multiple testing, and to assess whether the covariate affects certain major aspects of the distribution, including location, scale, skewness, Gaussianness, or tails. If the difference lies in these commonly-used summaries, our approach can still detect them, but our systematic modeling strategy can also detect effects on other aspects of the distribution that might be missed if one restricted attention to pre-chosen summaries. We demonstrate the benefit of the basis space modeling through simulation studies, and illustrate the method using a biomedical imaging data set in which we relate the distribution of pixel intensities from a tumor image to various demographic, clinical, and genetic characteristics.
