In Directional: A Collection of Functions for Directional Data Analysis

Tuning of the bandwidth parameter in the von Mises-Fisher kernel for (hyper-)spherical data

Description

Tuning of the bandwidth parameter in the von Mises-Fisher kernel for (hyper-)spherical data whit cross validation.

Usage

vmfkde.tune(x, low = 0.1, up = 1)

Arguments

x	A matrix with the data in Euclidean cordinates, i.e. unit vectors.
low	The lower value of the bandwdith to search.
up	The upper value of the bandwdith to search.

Details

Fast tuning of the bandwidth parameter in the von Mises-Fisher kernel for (hyper-)spherical data via cross validation.

Value

A vector including two elements:

Optimal h	The best H found.
cv	The value of the maximised pseudo-likelihood.
