A Functional SVD Framework for Regularized Multivariate Functional PCA with Dual Penalization

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.14815v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This paper introduces a novel framework for Regularized Multivariate Functional Principal Component Analysis (ReMFPCA) via Functional Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). The proposed method extends existing MFPCA approaches by incorporating a generalized functional SVD within a Hilbert space framework, enabling simultaneous regularization of both functional principal components (PCs) and their associated PC scores. A key innovation of this framework is the inclusion of a sparsity penalty on the PC scores, which enhances interpretability by filtering out irrelevant subject-specific variations. This dual-penalization strategy represents a significant advancement beyond existing covariance-based eigen decomposition methods, which penalize only
