hatMat: Hat Matrix of a Smoother

In sfsmisc: Utilities from 'Seminar fuer Statistik' ETH Zurich

Hat Matrix of a Smoother

Description

Compute the hat matrix or smoother matrix, of ‘any’ (linear) smoother, smoothing splines, by default.

Usage

hatMat(x, trace= FALSE,
       pred.sm = function(x, y, ...)
                 predict(smooth.spline(x, y, ...), x = x)$y,
       ...)

Arguments

x	numeric vector or matrix.
trace	logical indicating if the whole hat matrix, or only its trace, i.e. the sum of the diagonal values should be computed.
pred.sm	a function of at least two arguments (x,y) which returns fitted values, i.e. \hat{y}, of length compatible to x (and y).
...	optionally further arguments to the smoother function pred.sm.

Value

The hat matrix H (if trace = FALSE as per default) or a number, tr(H), the trace of H, i.e., \sum_i H_{ii}.

Note that dim(H) == c(n, n) where n <- length(x) also in the case where some x values are duplicated (aka ties).

Examples

require(stats) # for smooth.spline() or loess()

x1 <- c(1:4, 7:12)
H1 <- hatMat(x1, spar = 0.5) # default : smooth.spline()

matplot(x1, H1, type = "l", main = "columns of smoother hat matrix")

## Example 'pred.sm' arguments for hatMat() :
pspl <-  function(x,y,...) predict(smooth.spline(x,y, ...), x = x)$y
pksm <-  function(x,y,...) ksmooth(sort(x),y, "normal", x.points=x, ...)$y
## Rather than ksmooth():
if(require("lokern"))
  pksm2 <- function(x,y,...) glkerns(x,y, x.out=x, ...)$est




## Explaining 'trace = TRUE'
all.equal(sum(diag((hatMat(c(1:4, 7:12), df = 4)))),
                    hatMat(c(1:4, 7:12), df = 4, trace = TRUE), tol = 1e-12)

## ksmooth() :
Hk <- hatMat(x1, pr = pksm, bandwidth = 2)
cat(sprintf("df = %.2f\n", sum(diag(Hk))))
image(Hk)
Matrix::printSpMatrix(as(round(Hk, 2), "sparseMatrix"))
