Hi you all! I have a very serious problem. What I am going to do is a kernel density estimation (Nadaraya-Watson) but without any helping packages. I want to do it on my own and just use R as a calculator. The problem is that the matrix which I need does not seem to be calculated correctly in my loop. This matrix is created by the multiplication of a vector and its transponent. But before it becomes multiplicated with a kernel term.
Just let me show this: A=matrix(0,nrow=22,ncol=22) temp=matrix(0,nrow=22,ncol=22) for (i in 1:1473) { vectora=c(X_1[i],X_2[i],X_3[i],X_4[i],X_5[i],X_6[i],X_7[i],X_8[i],X_9[i],X_10[i],X_11[i],X_12[i],X_13[i],X_14[i],X_15[i],X_16[i],X_17[i],X_18[i],X_19[i],X_20[i],X_21[i],X_22[i]) vectorb=t(c(X_1[i],X_2[i],X_3[i],X_4[i],X_5[i],X_6[i],X_7[i],X_8[i],X_9[i],X_10[i],X_11[i],X_12[i],X_13[i],X_14[i],X_15[i],X_16[i],X_17[i],X_18[i],X_19[i],X_20[i],X_21[i],X_22[i])) temp=(3/(4*h))*(1-((i/T - u)/h)^2)*vectora%*%vectorb Anw=A+temp } This is the problem part, the part with the matrix. You see that it is a 22x22 matrix. Each vector has got more than 1000 elements. Thus there are more than one thousand of those matrices. And "temp" is the command in which each of those matrices should be multiplicated with the "i"-corresponding calue of (3/(4*h))*(1-((i/T - u)/h)^2) [Epanechnikov kernel]. And with "Anw=A+temp" finally there should be only a sum. And it is a sum, a 22x22matrix. But I cannot continue with my work because in the formula I have to use this I have to invert this matrix before. And this does not work. The determinant is said as being 0. I am sure that I am wrong with something. Can someone help me?? -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Kernel-density-estimation-problem-with-matrix-created-in-loop-tp2720793p2720793.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
