I'm using "Kernlab" to apply the "Weighted Nadaraya Watson" by Kato (2012) and Hall, Wolff, and Yao (1999).
I need to find this Gaussian Kernel in weights'calculation , where u= (x-x0): Kh(u) = h^(−1)*K(u/h). I used: rbf1 <- rbfdot(sigma = NULL) but I have to find out "sigma" as the inverse width. I used “sigest” function but it is different at each run, and hyperparameter value seem to be too high.. I have a couple of questions: 1. I must find lambda which maximize: f: sum(log(1+lambda*(x-x0)*Kh(u/h) But with rbf1 function I obtain a very small number and the log becames 0 (log of 1+ e^-230 etc) 2. Why I find different hyperparameter for each run? I should impose set.seed? But why hyperparameter are so high? 3. Which formula I should use for sigma in rbf1? Thank's in advance.
