locally.weighted.polynomial | R Documentation |
Smoothes the given bivariate data using kernel regression.
locally.weighted.polynomial( x, y, h = NA, x.grid = NA, degree = 1, kernel.type = "Normal" )
x |
Vector of data for the independent variable |
y |
Vector of data for the dependent variable |
h |
The bandwidth for the kernel |
x.grid |
What x-values should the value of the smoother be calculated at. |
degree |
The degree of the polynomial to be fit at each x-value. The default is to fit a linear regression, ie degree=1. |
kernel.type |
What kernel to use. Valid choices are 'Normal', 'Epanechnikov', 'biweight', and 'triweight'. |
The confidence intervals are created using the row-wise method of Hannig and Marron (2006).
Notice that the derivative to be estimated must be less than or equal to the degree of the polynomial initially fit to the data.
If the bandwidth is not given, the Sheather-Jones bandwidth selection method is used.
Returns a LocallyWeightedPolynomial
object that has the following elements:
A structure of the data used to generate the smoothing curve
The bandwidth used to generate the smoothing curve.
The grid of x-values that we have estimated function value and derivative(s) for.
The effective sample size at each grid point
A matrix of estimated beta values. The number of rows is degrees+1, while the number of columns is the same as the length of x.grid. Notice that
\hat{f}(x_i) = β[1,i]
\hat{f'}(x_i) = β[2,i]*1!
\hat{f''}(x_i) = β[3,i]*2!
and so on...
Matrix of estimated variances for Beta
. Same structure as Beta
