A new and interesting task in statistics is to effectively analyze functional data that frequently comes from advances in modern science and technology in areas such as meteorology and biomedical sciences. Functional linear regression with scalar response is a popular functional data analysis technique and it is often a common problem to determine a functional association if a functional predictor variable affects the scalar response in the models. Recently, Kong et al. (Journal of Nonparametric Statistics, 28, 813-838, 2016) established classical testing methods for this based on functional principal component analysis (of the functional predictor), that is, the resulting eigenfunctions (as a basis). However, the eigenbasis functions are not generally suitable for regression purpose because they are only concerned with the variability of the functional predictor, not the functional association of interest in testing problems. Additionally, eigenfunctions are to be estimated from data so that estimation errors might be involved in the performance of testing procedures. To circumvent these issues, we propose a testing method based on fixed basis such as B-splines and show that it works well via simulations. It is also illustrated via simulated and real data examples that the proposed testing method provides more effective and intuitive results due to the localization properties of B-splines.

연속형 변수들의 상관관계와 범주형 변수들의 연관성 측도들을 비교 연구하였다. 이 연구를 위하여 연속형 변수들이며 +1에서 -1까지 완벽한 상관관계를 갖고 있는 2 변량 정규분포를 이용하여 2$\times$2 분할표와 확장하여 일반적인 I$\times$J 분할표를 대신하는 3$\times$3 분할표를 생성하였다. 2 차원 분할표에서 정의된 연관성 측도들을 구하여 논의하였는데 2$\times$2 분할표에서는 교차적비 $\alpha$ 통계량과 교차적비의 함수로 표현되는 Yule [1912]의 Q와 Y의 통계량 그리고 상관계수 R 통계량과 R 통계량의 함수인 P 통계량을 설명하고 생성된 분할표에서 구한 통계량값을 분석하였으며, 3$\times$3 분할표에서는 Pearson의 독립성 검정통계량 $X^2$의 함수로 표현되는 P. T. V 통계량과 Goodman과 Kruskal [1954]의 $\lambda_{C/R}$통계량과 Light와 Margolin [1971]의 $\tau_{R/C}$ 통계량을 설명하고 그 값들을 Pearson의 상관계수와 비교 분석하였다.
