Bandwidth Selection in Local Polynomial Regression Using Eigenvalues
利用特征值选择局部多项式回归的带宽
Summary Local polynomial regression is commonly used for estimating regression functions. In practice, however, with rough functions or sparse data, a poor choice of bandwidth can lead to unstable estimates of the function or its derivatives. We derive a new expression for the leading term of the bias by using the eigenvalues of the weighted design matrix where the bias depends on the arrangement of the X-values in the bandwidth window. We then use this result to determine a…
