tuning_GCVc {CVEK}R Documentation

Calculating Tuning Parameters Using GCVc

Description

Calculate tuning parameters based on GCVc.

Usage

tuning_GCVc(Y, X, K_mat, lambda)

Arguments

Y

(matrix, n*1) The vector of response variable.

X

(matrix, n*d_fix) The fixed effect matrix.

K_mat

(list of matrices) A nested list of kernel term matrices, corresponding to each kernel term specified in the formula for a base kernel function in kern_func_list.

lambda

(numeric) A numeric string specifying the range of tuning parameter to be chosen. The lower limit of lambda must be above 0.

Details

Generalized Cross Validation (small sample size)

\lambda_{GCVc}={argmin}_{\lambda \in \Lambda}\Big\{log\; y^{\star T}(I-A_\lambda)^2y^\star-2log[1-\frac{tr(A_\lambda)}{n}-\frac{2}{n}]_+\Big\}

Value

lambda0

(numeric) The estimated tuning parameter.
