  ## First we require two functions, the first that conducts Regularized
  ## Tikhonov Regression' (aka Ridge Regression)

  ## This function conducts regularized Tikhonov regression which
  ## corresponds to (3.9) in Feve & Florens (2010).

  ## This function accepts as arguments

  ## alpha: penalty
  ## CZ:    row-normalized kernel weights for the `independent' variable
  ## CY:    row-normalized kernel weights for the `dependent' variable
  ## Cr:    row-normalized kernel weights for the `instrument/endogenous' variable (see NOTE below)
  ## r:     vector of conditional expectations (z can be E(Z|z) - see NOTE below)

  ## NOTE: for Cr, in the transformation model case treated in Feve &
  ## Florens (2010) this maps Z onto the Y space. In the IV case
  ## (Darrolles, Fan, Florens & Renault (2011) it maps W (the
  ## instrument) onto the space of the endogenous regressor Z.

  ## NOTE: for r, in the transformation model it will be equivalent to
  ## the vector of exogenous covariates, and in the endogenous case r is
  ## the conditional mean of y given the instrument W.

  ## This function returns TBA (need better error checking!)

  ## phi:   the vector of estimated values for the unknown function at the evaluation points

  ## This function applies the iterated Tikhonov approach which
  ## corresponds to (3.10) in Feve & Florens (2010).
