min.np: Smoothing of functional data using nonparametric kernel estimation

Description

Smoothing of functional data using nonparametric kernel estimation with cross-validation (CV) or generalized cross-validation (GCV) methods.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'np':
min(fdataobj,h=NULL,W=NULL,Ker=Ker.norm,
type.CV=GCV.S,type.S=S.NW,par.CV=list(trim=0,draw=FALSE),
verbose=FALSE,...)

Arguments

fdataobj

fdata class object.

h

Smoothing parameter or bandwidth.

W

Matrix of weights.

Ker

Type of kernel used, by default normal kernel.

type.CV

Type of cross-validation. By default generalized cross-validation (GCV) method. Possible values are GCV.S and CV.S

type.S

Type of smothing matrix S. By default S is calculated by Nadaraya-Watson kernel estimator (S.NW). Possible values are S.NW and S.KNN

par.CV

List of parameters for type.CV: trim, the alpha of the trimming and draw=TRUE.

verbose

If TRUE information about GCV values and input parameters is printed. Default is FALSE.

...

Further arguments passed to or from other methods. Arguments to be passed for kernel method.

Value

• Returns GCV or CV values calculated for input parameters.
• gcv
  GCV or CV for a vector of values of the smoothing parameter h
• fdataobj
  fdata class object.
• fdata.est
  Estimated fdata class object.
• h.opt
  h value that minimizes CV or GCV method.
• S.opt
  Smoothing matrix for the minimum CV or GCV method.
• gcv.opt
  Minimum of CV or GCV method.
• h
  Smoothing parameter or bandwidth.

Details

Calculate the minimum GCV for a vector of values of the smoothing parameter h. Nonparametric smoothing is performed by the kernel function. The type of kernel to use with the parameter Ker and the type of smothing matrix S to use with the parameter type.S can be selected by the user, see function Kernel. W is the matrix of weights of the discretization points.
