bw.dboot2: A bootstrap bandwidth selection with resampling

In XFW/decon: Deconvolution Estimation in Measurement Error Models

Description

To compute the optimal bandwidth using the bootstrap method with resampling.

Usage

 bw.dboot2(y,sig,h0='dboot1',error='normal',B=1000,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.
h0	An initial bandwidth parameter. The default vaule is the estimate from bw.dboot1.
error	Error distribution types: 'normal', 'laplacian' for normal and Laplacian errors, respectively.
B	Bootstrap number, default value 1000.
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

Three cases are supported: (1) homo normal; (2) homo laplacian.

The integration was approximated by computing the average over a fine grid of points (1000 points).

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.dboot2(w,sig=sig)
## 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.dboot2(w,sig=sig,error='laplacian')
