computeGamma1: Internal function: Compute model-averaged estimator of focus regressors in walsNB

Description

Exploits the SVD of the design matrix of the focus regressors \(\bar{Z}_1\), the model-averaged estimator for the auxiliary regressors \(\hat{\gamma}_{2}\) and the Sherman-Morrison-Woodbury formula for computing the model-averaged estimator of the focus regressors in walsNB.

Usage

computeGamma1(
  gamma2,
  Z2start,
  Z2,
  U,
  V,
  singularVals,
  ellStart,
  gStart,
  epsilonStart,
  qStart,
  y0Start,
  tStart,
  psiStart
)

Arguments

gamma2

Model-averaged estimate for auxiliary regressors from computePosterior.

Z2start

Transformed design matrix of auxiliary regressors \(\bar{Z}_2\). See details.

Z2

Another transformed design matrix of auxiliary regressors \(Z_2\). See details.

U

Left singular vectors of \(\bar{Z}_1\) from svd.

V

Right singular vectors of \(\bar{Z}_1\) from svd.

singularVals

Singular values of \(\bar{Z}_1\) from svd.

ellStart

Vector \(\bar{\ell}\) see details.

gStart

Derivative of dispersion parameter \(\rho\) of NB2 with respect to \(\alpha = \log(\rho)\) evaluated at starting values of one-step ML. gStart is a scalar. See section "ML estimation" of huynhwalsnb;textualWALS.

epsilonStart

Scalar \(\bar{\epsilon}\), see section "One-step ML estimator" of huynhwalsnb;textualWALS for definition.

qStart

Vector \(\bar{q}\), see section "One-step ML estimator" of huynhwalsnb;textualWALS for definition.

y0Start

Vector \(\bar{y}_0\), see section "One-step ML estimator" of huynhwalsnb;textualWALS for definition.

tStart

Scalar \(\bar{t}\), see section "One-step ML estimator" of huynhwalsnb;textualWALS for definition.

psiStart

Diagonal matrix \(\bar{\Psi}\), see section "One-step ML estimator" of huynhwalsnb;textualWALS for definition.

Details

See section "Simplification for computing \(\hat{\gamma}_{1}\)" in the appendix of huynhwals;textualWALS for details of the implementation and for the definitions of argument ellStart.

All parameters that contain "start" feature the starting values for the one-step ML estimation of submodels. See section "One-step ML estimator" of huynhwalsnb;textualWALS for details.

The argument Z2start is defined as huynhwalsnbWALS

$$ \bar{Z}_{2} := \bar{X}_{2} \bar{\Delta}_{2} \bar{\Xi}^{-1/2}, $$

and Z2 is defined as

$$ Z_{2} := X_{2} \bar{\Delta}_{2} \bar{\Xi}^{-1/2}. $$

Uses svdLSplus under-the-hood.
