Abstract: Considering the case where the response variable is a categorical variable and the predictor is a random function, two novel functional sufficient dimensional reduction (FSDR) methods are proposed based on mutual information and square loss mutual information. Compared to the classical FSDR methods, such as functional sliced inverse regression and functional sliced average variance estimation, the proposed methods are appealing because they are capable of estimating multiple effective dimension reduction directions in the case of a relatively small number of categories, especially for the binary response. Moreover, the proposed methods do not require the restrictive linear conditional mean assumption and the constant covariance assumption. They avoid the inverse problem of the covariance operator which is often encountered in the functional sufficient dimension reduction. The functional principal component analysis with truncation be used as a regularization mechanism. Under some mild conditions, the statistical consistency of the proposed methods is established. Simulation studies and real data analyzes are used to evaluate the finite sample properties of our methods.
