In Compositional: Compositional Data Analysis

ICE plot for the \alpha-kernel regression

Description

ICE plot for the \alpha-kernel regression.

Usage

ice.akernreg(y, x, a, h, type = "gauss", ind = 1, frac = 0.1, qpos = 0.9)

Arguments

y	A numerical vector with the response values.
x	A numerical matrix with the predictor variables.
a	The value \alpha to consider.
h	The bandwidth value to consider.
type	The type of kernel to use, "gauss" or "laplace".
ind	Which variable to select?.
frac	Fraction of observations to use. The default value is 0.1.
qpos	A number between 0.8 and 1. This is used to place the legend of the figure better. You can play with it. In the worst case scenario the code is open and you tweak this argument as you prefer.

Details

This function implements the Individual Conditional Expecation plots of Goldstein et al. (2015). See the references for more details.

Value

A graph with several curves, one for each component. The horizontal axis contains the selected variable, whereas the vertical axis contains the locally smoothed predicted compositional lines.
