pluginBw {locpol}

Plugin Bandwidth selector.

Description

Implements a plugin bandwidth selector for the regression function.

Usage

pluginBw(x, y, deg, kernel, weig = rep(1,length(y)))

Arguments

x

x covariate values.

y

y response values.

deg

degree of the local polynomial.

kernel

Kernel used to perform the estimation, see Kernels.

weig

Vector of weights for observations.

Details

Computes the plug-in bandwidth selector as shown in Fan and Gijbels(1996) book using pilots estimates as given in page 110-112 (Rule of thumb for bandwidth selection). Currently, only even values of p are can be used.

Value

A numeric value.

Note

Currently, only even values of p are can be used.
