GPois: Fit a tilted Gaussian density via a Poisson GAM

In Hanchao-Zhang/ProDenICA: Product Density Estimation for ICA using tilted Gaussian density estimates

Description

This is a contrast method for ProDenICA. It fits a tilted Gaussian density estimate by multiplying the Gaussian density by an exponential tilt function using a cubic smoothing spline

Usage

GPois(x, df = 6, B = 500, order = 1, widen = 1.2, density.return = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x	vector of real values
df	degrees of freedom for the smoothing-spline fit; default is 6
B	number of grid points for density estimate; default is 500
order	A robustness parameter to avoid responding to outliers in x. The range of x is estimated by the orderth and n-order+1th order statistics. Default is order=1
widen	an expansion factor to widen the range of x; default is widen=1.2
density.return	logical variable, with default FALSE. If density.return=TRUE, the estimated density is returned
...	additional arguments to GAM; typically not used

Details

See Section 14.7.4 of 'Elements of Statistical Learning (Hastie, Tibshirani and Friedman, 2009, 2nd Edition)' for details

Value

a list with components

Gs	estimated contrast function, which is the log of the tilting function, evaluated at the original values of x. mean(Gs) is measure of negentropy
gs	estimated first derivative of Gs at x
gps	estimated second derivative of Gs at x
density	if density.return=TRUE, a list with components $x the grid of B values of x, and $y the estimated density.
