Abstract: An additive model is studied, where the response variable is Hilbert-space-valued, and predictors are multivariate Euclidean, and both are possibly imperfectly observed. Considering Hilbert-space-valued responses allows covering Euclidean, compositional, functional and density-valued variables. By treating imperfect responses, functional variables are covered, taking values in a Riemannian manifold and the case where only a random sample from a density-valued response is available. Dealing with imperfect predictors allows for covering the various principal component and singular component scores obtained from Hilbert-space-valued variables. The smooth back-fitting method is used to estimate the additive model having such variables. Asymptotic properties of the regression estimator are provided, and a numerical study is presented.
