RT Book,_Section T1 Variable selection in Functional Additive Regression Models A1 Febrero Bande, Manuel A1 González Manteiga, Wenceslao A1 Oviedo de la Fuente, Manuel K1 Variable Selection K1 Distance Correlation K1 Functional Covariates K1 Meteorological Information K1 Scalar Covariates AB This paper considers the problem of variable selection when some of the variables have a functional nature and can be mixed with other type of variables (scalar, multivariate, directional, etc). Our proposal begins with a simple null model and sequentially selects a new variable to be incorporated into the model. For the sake of simplicity, this paper only uses additive models. However, the proposed algorithm may assess the type of contribution (linear, non linear, …) of each variable. The algorithm have showed quite promising results when applied to real data sets PB Springer SN 978-3-319-55845-5 SN 978-3-319-55846-2 YR 2017 FD 2017 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18649 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18649 LA eng NO Febrero-Bande M., González-Manteiga W., de la Fuente M.O.
