Abstract

We consider the estimation of the slope function in functional linear regression, where a scalar response Y is modeled in dependence of a random function X, when Yand only a panel Z 1Z L of noisy observations of X are observable. Assuming an iid. sample of (Y,Z 1Z L) we derive in terms of both, the sample size and the panel size, a lower bound of a maximal weigthed risk over certain ellipsoids of slope functions.We prove that a thresholded projection estimator can attain the lower bound up to a constant.
