In recent literature, functional principal components analysis (FPCA) has been used to estimate the model parameter. We propose to modify this approach by using presmoothing techniques. For this new estimate, consistency is stated and efficiency by comparison with the standard FPCA estimator is studied. We have also analysed the behaviour of our presmoothed estimator by means of a simulation study and data applications PB Academia Sinica, Institute of Statistical Science SN 1017-0405 YR 2012 FD 2012 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18563 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/18563 LA eng NO Ferraty, F., Gonzalez-Manteiga, W., Martinez-Calvo, A., & Vieu, P.
