Abstract
This paper deals with the problem of estimating functional data from a functional noise model, i.e., on the basis of the observations of a discrete-time stochastic process in additive white noise which can be correlated with the process. Assuming prior information on the correlation functions involved and using principal component analysis for stochastic processes, a general suboptimum estimation procedure is derived. The proposed solution is valid for smoothing, filtering and prediction problems, can be applied to estimate any operation of the process, such as derivatives, and constitutes a computationally efficient algorithm.
