dimhat: Estimate Dimension of Central Subspace

Estimate Dimension of Central Subspace

Description

Given the kernel matrix that characterises a central subspace, this function estimates the dimension of the subspace.

Usage

  dimhat(M)

Arguments

M	Kernel of subspace. A symmetric, non-negative definite, numeric matrix, typically obtained from sdr.

Details

This function computes the maximum descent estimate of the dimension of the central subspace with a given kernel matrix M.

The matrix M should be the kernel matrix of a central subspace, which can be obtained from sdr. It must be a symmetric, non-negative-definite, numeric matrix.

The algorithm finds the eigenvalues \lambda_1 \ge \ldots \ge \lambda_n of M, and then determines the index k for which \lambda_k/\lambda_{k-1} is greatest.

Value

A single integer giving the estimated dimension.
