Description

This package presents descriptive statistics of functional data; implements principal component regression and partial least squares regression to provide point and distributional forecasts for functional data; utilizes functional linear regression, ordinary least squares, penalized least squares, ridge regression, and moving block approaches to dynamically update point and distributional forecasts when partial data points in the most recent curve are observed; performs stationarity test for a functional time series; estimates a long-run covariance function by kernel sandwich estimator.
