Popis: We investigate a nonparametric, varying coefficient regression approach for modeling and estimating the regression effects caused by two functionally correlated datasets. Due to modern biomedical technology to measure multiple patient features during a time interval or intermittently at several discrete time points to review underlying biological mechanisms, statistical models that do not properly incorporate interventions and their dynamic responses may lead to biased estimates of the intervention effects. We propose a shared parameter change point function-on-function regression model to evaluate the pre- and post-intervention time trends and develop a likelihood-based method for estimating the intervention effects and other parameters. We also propose new methods for estimating and hypothesis testing regression parameters for functional data via reproducing kernel Hilbert space. The estimators of regression parameters are closed-form without computation of the inverse of a large matrix, and hence are less computationally demanding and more applicable. By establishing a representation theorem and a functional central limit theorem, the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators are obtained, and the corresponding hypothesis tests are proposed. Application and the statistical properties of our method are demonstrated through an immunotherapy clinical trial of advanced myeloma and simulation studies.
