span.select: A method to select the span of the sequence of lambda's for...

In NPsimex: Nonparametric Smoothing for contaminated data using Simulation-Extrapolation

Description

To compute the optimal span of the sequence of lambda's for the case of homoscedastic error.

Usage

 span.select(W, msigma, span=c(2,4,6,8,10,12,25), from=min(W), to=max(W), n.user=128, n.lambda=50, lambda="SJ", bw="SJ", adjust=1, na.rm = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

W	The observed data. It is a vector of length at least 10.
msigma	The standard deviation σ of measurement error. It is a single positive numeric value.
span	span is a vector of user-defined grids for spans.
from	the starting point where the PDF is to be evaluated.
to	the starting point where the PDF is to be evaluated.
n.user	number of points where the PDF is to be evaluated.
n.lambda	number of points of lambda's.
lambda	Specifies the first lambda. It can be a single numeric value which has been pre-determined; or computed with the specific density bandwidth selector: 'nrd0', 'nrd', 'ucv', 'bcv', 'SJ'.
bw	Specifies the bandwidth of 'W'. It can be a single numeric value which has been pre-determined; or computed with the specific density bandwidth selector: 'nrd0', 'nrd', 'ucv', 'bcv', 'SJ'.
adjust	adjust the range there the PDF is to be evaluated. By default, adjust=1.
na.rm	is set to FALSE by default: no NA value is allowed.
...	control
