Tuning of the bandwidth h of the kernel using the maximum likelihood cross validation:
Tuning of the bandwidth h of the kernel using the maximum likelihood cross validation
Description
Tuning of the bandwidth h of the kernel using the maximum likelihood cross validation.
Usage
mkde.tune( x, low = 0.1, up = 3, s = cov(x) )
Arguments
x
A matrix with Euclidean (continuous) data.
low
The minimum value to search for the optimal bandwidth value.
up
The maximum value to search for the optimal bandwidth value.
s
A covariance matrix. By default it is equal to the covariance matrix of the data, but can change to a robust covariance matrix, MCD for example.
Value
A list including:
Details
Maximum likelihood cross validation is applied in order to choose the optimal value of the bandwidth parameter. No plot is produced.
