additive.stageR Documentation

Stagewise fitting of an additive model

Description

Computes the value of an additive model regression estimator at one point using stagewise fitting

Usage

additive.stage(x, y=NULL, arg=NULL, residu=NULL, deet=NULL, h=1, kernel="gauss",
M=2, vect=FALSE)

Arguments

x

n*d data matrix; the matrix of the values of the explanatory variables

y

n vector or NULL; the values of the response variable; if "residu" is given, then "y" is not used

arg

d-vector; the point where the estimate is evaluated

residu

NULL or n*M matrix of residuals; for each step the n vector of residuals is given; the first residual is the vector of y-observations

deet

NULL or M vector of values 1,...,d; for each step the direction chosen by the optimizer

h

a positive real number; the smoothing parameter of the kernel estimate

kernel

a character; determines the kernel function; either "gauss" or "uniform"

M

integer >=2; the number of iterations

vect

TRUE or FALSE; internal parameter

Value

list of eval, residu, deet, value, and valvec; "eval" is a n*d matrix of the evaluations of the estimated component functions at the data points; "residu" is n*M matrix which contains the sequence of estimates evaluated at the observations; "deet" is M vector of values 1,...,d which indicates for each step the direction chose by the optimization procedure; "value" is a real number giving the estimated value of the regression function at one point; "valvec" is d vector giving the estimated values of the component functions at one point
