A new estimator, named S-LASSO, is proposed for the coefficient function of the Function -on-Function linear regression model. The S-LASSO estimator is shown to be able to increase the interpretability of the model, by better locating regions where the coefficient function is zero, and to smoothly estimate non-zero values of the coefficient function. The sparsity of the estimator is ensured by a functional LASSO penalty, which pointwise shrinks toward zero the coefficient function, while the smoothness is provided by two roughness penalties that penalize the curvature of the final estimator. The resulting estimator is proved to be estimation and pointwise sign consistent. Via an extensive Monte Carlo simulation study, the estimation and predictive performance of the S-LASSO estimator are shown to be better than (or at worst comparable with) competing estimators already presented in the literature before. Practical advantages of the S-LASSO estimator are illustrated through the analysis of the Canadian weather, Swedish mortality and ship CO2 emission data. The S-LASSO method is implemented in the R package slasso, openly available online on CRAN.(c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
