banded.sample.cv: Selects bandwidth for sample covariance matrix by cross validation

Description

Selects bandwidth for sample covariance matrix by k-fold cross validation

Usage

banded.sample.cv(X, bandwidth, folds = 3, est.eval = TRUE, Frob = TRUE)

Arguments

X

A data matrix with $n$ rows and $p$ columns. Rows are assumed to be independent realizations from a $p$-variate distribution with covariance $\Sigma$.

bandwidth

A vector of candidate bandwidths. Candidate bandwidths can only positive integers such that the maximum is less than $p-1$

folds

The number of folds used for cross validation. Default is folds =3.

est.eval

Logical: est.eval = TRUE returns a list with both the selected bandwidth and the estimated covariance matrix. est.eval=FALSE returns a list with only the selected bandwidth. The default is est.eval = TRUE.

Frob

Logical: Frob = TRUE uses squared Frobenius norm loss for cross-validation. Frob = FALSE uses operator norm loss. Default is Frob = TRUE.

Value

A list with

bandwidth.min

the bandwidth minimizing cv error

est

the sample covariance matrix at bandwidth.min

Examples

## set sample size and dimension
n=20
p=100

## create covariance with AR1 structure
Sigma = matrix(0, nrow=p, ncol=p)
for(l in 1:p){
  for(m in 1:p){
    Sigma[l,m] = .5^(abs(l-m))
  }
}

## simulation Normal data
eo1 = eigen(Sigma)
Sigma.sqrt = eo1$vec%*%diag(eo1$val^.5)%*%t(eo1$vec)
X = t(Sigma.sqrt%*%matrix(rnorm(n*p), nrow=p, ncol=n))

## perform cross validation
k = 4:7
out2.cv = banded.sample.cv(X, bandwidth=k, folds=5)
