In bbefkr: Bayesian bandwidth estimation and semi-metric selection for the functional kernel regression with unknown error density

Description

This package aims to estimate bandwidths in the regression function and kernel-form error density simultaneously, using a Bayesian sampling algorithm. We demonstrate this Bayesian sampling algorithm using a functional nonparametric regression and a semi-functional partial linear model

Details

The regression function is approximated by the functional Nadaraya-Watson estimator, while the unknown error density is approximated by a kernel density of residuals. In both regression function and error density, they depend crucially on the selection of the optimal bandwidths.
