Bayesian analysis of historical functional linear models with application to air pollution forecasting by Junglee, Yovna

“…Different from existing Bayesian approaches to historical functional linear models, our proposed methodology is able to handle multiple functional covariates with measurement error and sparseness. The proposed model utilises the well-established connection between non-parametric smoothing and Bayesian methods to reduce sensitivity to the number of basis functions which are used to model the functional regression coefficients. …”
