摘要：Functional linear regression is a popular method to model the relationship between a scalar response and functional predictors. A common estimation procedure is using maximum likelihood by assuming normal distributions for residual errors; however this method may make inferences vulnerable to the presence of outliers. In this article, we introduce a robust structure of partially functional linear model by considering a class of scale mixtures of normal distributions for residual errors. A Bayesian framework is adopted, and an MCMC algorithm is developed to carry out posterior inference on model parameters. The finite sample performance of our proposed method is evaluated by using some simulation studies and a real dataset.
