Abstract

This paper deals with robust nonparametric regression analysis when the regressors are functional random fields. More precisely, we consider ${$Z_i=(X_i,Y_i)$}$ , ${$i{\in}\mathbb{N}^N$}$ be a ${$\mathcal{F}{\times}\mathbb{R}$}$ -valued measurable strictly stationary spatial process, where ${$\mathcal{F}$}$ is a semi-metric space and we study the spatial interaction of ${$X_i$}$ and ${$Y_i$}$ via the robust estimation for the regression function. We propose a family of robust nonparametric estimators for regression function based on the kernel method. The main result of this work is the establishment of the asymptotic normality of these estimators, under some general mixing and small ball probability conditions.
