gcv.ubre_grad {scam}

The GCV/UBRE score value and its gradient

Description

For the estimation of the SCAM smoothing parameters the GCV/UBRE score is optimized outer to the Newton-Raphson procedure of the model fitting. This function returns the value of the GCV/UBRE score and calculates its first derivative with respect to the log smoothing parameter using the method of Wood (2009).

The function is not normally called directly, but rather service routines for bfgs_gcv.ubre.

Usage

gcv.ubre_grad(rho, G, env, control)

Arguments

rho

log of the initial values of the smoothing parameters.

G

a list of items needed to fit a SCAM.

env

Get the enviroment for the model coefficients, their derivatives and the smoothing parameter.

control

A list of fit control parameters as returned by scam.control.

Value

A list is returned with the following items:

dgcv.ubre

The value of GCV/UBRE gradient.

gcv.ubre

The GCV/UBRE score value.

scale.est

The value of the scale estimate.

object

The elements of the fitting procedure monogam.fit for a given value of the smoothing parameter.

dgcv.ubre.check

If check.analytical=TRUE this returns the finite-difference approximation of the gradient.

check.grad

If check.analytical=TRUE this returns the relative difference (in and finite differenced derivatives.
