By: A. Ivanescu*, A. Staicu n, F. Scheipl* & S. Greven*

author keywords: Functional data analysis; Functional regression model; Mixed model; Multiple functional predictors; Penalized splines; Tractography data
TL;DR: A general framework for smooth regression of a functional response on one or multiple functional predictors is proposed using the mixed model representation of penalized regression, which allows for seamless integration of continuous or categorical covariates and provides approximate confidence intervals as a by-product of the Mixed model inference.
