Abstract
We study regression estimation when the explanatory variable is functional. Nonparametric estimates of the regression operator have been recently introduced. They depend on a smoothing factor which controls its behaviour, and the aim of our Note is to construct some data-driven criterion for choosing this smoothing parameter. The criterion can be formulated in terms of a functional version of cross-validation ideas. Under mild assumptions on the unknown regression operator, it is seen that this rule is asymptotically optimal. As by-products of this result, we state asymptotic equivalences for several measures of accuracy for nonparametric estimate of the regression operator. To cite this article: M. Rachdi, P. Vieu, C. R.
