GCV: GCV (generalized cross-validation)

Description

The CGV function gives the sum of cross-validated squared errors that can be used to optimize tuning parameters in ridge regression and generalized ridge regression. See Golub et al. (1979), and Sections 2.3 and 3.3 of Yang and Emura (2017) for details.

Usage

GCV(X, Y, k, W = diag(ncol(X)))

Value

The value of GCV

Arguments

X

matrix of explanatory variables (design matrix)

Y

vector of response variables

k

shrinkage parameter (>0); it is the "lambda" parameter

W

matrix of weights (default is the identity matrix)
