FDboost

FDboost Boosting Functional Regression Models.

The package FDboost fits regression models for functional data, i.e., scalar-on-function, function-on-scalar, and function-on-function regression models, by a component-wise gradient boosting algorithm. Furthermore, it can be used to fit density-on-scalar regression models.

Using FDboost
