LocLinear: Local linear Regression

Description

Local linear estimates for time varying coefficients

Usage

LocLinear(bw, t, y, X, db_kernel = 0L, deriv2 = 0L, scb = 0L)

Value

a list of results

• mu: the estimated trend

• beta0: time varying coefficient

• X_reg: a matrix whose j'th row is x_j^TM(t_j)

• t: 1:n/n

• bw: bandwidth used

• X: covariates matrix

• y: response

• n: sample size

• p: dimension of covariates including the intercept

• invM: inversion of M matrix, when scb = 1

Arguments

bw

double, bandwidth

t

vector, time, 1:n/n

y

vector, response series to be tested for long memory in the next step

X

matrix, covariates matrix

db_kernel

bool, whether to use jackknife kernel, default 0

deriv2

bool,whether to return second-order derivative, default 0

scb

bool, whether to use the result for further calculation of simultaneous confidence bands.

Details

The time varying coefficients are estimated by (_b_n(t), _b_n^(t)) = arg min__0,_1[_i=1^n{y_i-x_i^T_0-x_i^T _1(t_i-t)}^2 K_b_n(t_i-t)] where beta0 is _b_n(t), mu is X^T _b_n(t)
