ensemble_exp {CVEK}R Documentation

Estimating Ensemble Kernel Matrices Using EXP

Description

Give the ensemble projection matrix and weights of the kernels in the library using exponential weighting.

Usage

ensemble_exp(beta_exp, error_mat, A_hat)

Arguments

beta_exp

(numeric/character) A numeric value specifying the parameter when strategy = "exp". See Details.

error_mat

(matrix, n*K) A n\*K matrix indicating errors.

A_hat

(list of length K) A list of projection matrices to kernel space for each kernel in the kernel library.

Details

Exponential Weighting

Additionally, another scholar gives a new strategy to calculate weights based on the estimated errors \{\hat{\epsilon}_d\}_{d=1}^D.

u_d(\beta)=\frac{exp(-\parallel \hat{\epsilon}_d \parallel_2^2/\beta)}{\sum_{d=1}^Dexp(-\parallel \hat{\epsilon}_d \parallel_2^2/\beta)}

beta_exp

The value of beta_exp can be "min"=min\{RSS\}_{d=1}^D/10, "med"=median\{RSS\}_{d=1}^D, "max"=max\{RSS\}_{d=1}^D*2 and any other positive numeric number, where \{RSS\} _{d=1}^D are the set of residual sum of squares of D base kernels.

Value

A_est

(matrix, n*n) The ensemble projection matrix.

u_hat

(vector of length K) A vector of weights of the kernels in the library.
