L_ICV {ICV}

The ICV selection kernel.

Description

The ICV selection kernel L defined by expression (4) of Savchuk, Hart, and Sheather (2010).

Usage

L_ICV(u, alpha, sigma)

Arguments

u

numerical argument of the selection kernel,

alpha

first parameter of the selection kernel,

sigma

second parameter of the selection kernel.

Details

The ICV selection kernel L(u;\alpha,\sigma)=(1+\alpha)\phi(u)-\alpha\phi(u/\sigma)/\sigma, where \phi denotes the Gaussian kernel.

Value

The value of L(u;\alpha,\sigma).
