number of stages in the plug-in bandwidth selector (1 or 2)
pilot
"amse" = AMSE pilot bandwidths,
"samse" = single SAMSE pilot bandwidth
pre
"scale" = pre-scaling, "sphere" =
pre-sphering
Hstart
(stacked) matrix of initial bandwidth matrices, used in
numerical optimisation
Value
Stacked matrix of bandwidth matrices for each training data group.
Details
The values that valid for bw are "plugin", "lscv" and
"scv" for
Hkda. These in turn call Hpi,
Hlscv and Hscv. For plugin selectors, all
of nstage, pilot and pre need to be set. For SCV
selectors, currently nstage=1 always but pilot and pre
need to be set. For LSCV selectors, none of them are required.
For Hkda.diag, options are "plugin" or "lscv"
which in turn call respectively Hpi.diag
and Hlscv.diag. Again, nstage, pilot and
pre are available for Hpi.diag but not required for
Hlscv.diag.
For details on the pre-transformations in pre, see
pre.sphere and pre.scale.
