estimate_sigma2: Estimating Noise

Description

An implementation of Gaussian processes for estimating noise.

Usage

estimate_sigma2(Y, X, lambda_hat, y_fixed_hat, alpha_hat, K_hat)

Arguments

Y

(matrix, n*1) The vector of response variable.

X

(matrix, n*d_fix) The fixed effect matrix.

lambda_hat

(numeric) The selected tuning parameter based on the estimated ensemble kernel matrix.

y_fixed_hat

(vector of length n) Estimated fixed effect of the response.

alpha_hat

(vector of length n) Kernel effect estimators of the estimated ensemble kernel matrix.

K_hat

(matrix, n*n) Estimated ensemble kernel matrix.

Value

sigma2_hat

(numeric) The estimated noise of the fixed effect.
