An extension of the non-parametric functional regression models is the
semi-functional partial linear model proposed in Aneiros-Perez and Vieu
(2005). This model uses a non-parametric kernel procedure as that described
in fregre.np. The output y is scalar. A functional
covariate X and a multivariate non functional covariate Z are
considered.
y = r(X)+∑_(j=1:p) Z_j β_j+ε
The unknown smooth real function r is estimated by means of
\hat{r}_{h}(X)=∑_(i=1:n) w_{n,h}(X,X_i) (Y_i - Z_i^{T} β.est_h)
where W_h is the weight function:
w_{n,h}(X,X_i)=
K( d( X , X_i )/h ) / ∑_(j=1:n) K( d( X, X_j )/h ) with smoothing
parameter h, an asymmetric kernel K and a metric or semi-metric
d.  In fregre.plm() by default W_h is a functional
version of the Nadaraya-Watson-type weights (type.S=S.NW) with
asymmetric normal kernel (Ker=AKer.norm) in L_2
(metric=metric.lp with p=2). The unknown parameters
β_j for the multivariate non functional covariates are estimated
by means of
β.est_j=(Z_h'Z_h)^{-1}
Z_h^{T}Z_h where Z_h=(I-W_h)Z with the
smoothing parameter h. The errors ε are independent, with
zero mean, finite variance σ^2 and
E[ε|Z_1,...,Z_p,X(t)]=0.
The first item in the data list is called "df" and is a data
frame with the response and non functional explanatory variables, as
link{lm}. If non functional data into the formula then
lm regression is performed.
 Functional variable
(fdata or fd class) is introduced in the second item in the
data list.  If only functional variable into the formula then
fregre.np.cv is performed.
The function estimates the value of smoothing parameter or the bandwidth
h through Generalized Cross-validation GCV criteria. It
computes the distance between curves using the metric.lp,
although you can also use other metric function. 
 Different asymmetric
kernels can be used, see Kernel.asymmetric.
