bw.dmise: The MISE based plug-in bandwidth selection

In decon: Deconvolution Estimation in Measurement Error Models

Description

To compute the optimal bandwidth using the plug-in methods by minimizing MISE.

Usage

 bw.dmise(y,sig,error="normal",kernel="support",grid=100,ub=2)

Arguments

y	The observed data. It is a vector of length at least 3.
sig	The standard deviation(s) σ. For homoscedastic errors, sig is a single value. Otherwise, sig is a vector of variances having the same length as y.
error	Error distribution types: 'normal', 'laplacian' for normal and Laplacian errors, respectively.
kernel	Kernel type: 'support' for support kernel; and 'normal' for Gaussian kernel.
grid	the grid number to search the optimal bandwidth when a bandwidth selector was specified in bw. Default value "grid=100".
ub	the upper boundary to search the optimal bandwidth, default value is "ub=2".

Details

The current version approximate the second term in the MISE by assuming that X is normally distributed.

Value

the selected bandwidth.

Examples

n <- 1000
x <- c(rnorm(n/2,-2,1),rnorm(n/2,2,1))
## the case of homoscedastic normal error
sig <- .8
u <- rnorm(n, sd=sig)
w <- x+u
bw.dmise(w,sig=sig,error='normal');
## The small error case
sig <- .25
u <- rnorm(n, sd=sig)
w <- x+u
bw.dmise(w,sig=sig,kernel='normal',error='normal');

## the case of homoscedastic laplacian error
sig <- .8
## generate laplacian error
u <- ifelse(runif(n) > 0.5, 1, -1) * rexp(n,rate=1/sig)
w <- x+u
bw.dmise(w,sig=sig,error='laplace')

## the case of heteroscedastic normal error
sig <- runif(n, .7, .9)
u <- sapply(sig, function(x) rnorm(1, sd=x))
w <- x+u
bw.dmise(w,sig=sig,kernel='support',error='normal')
