Description: | slope estimation of average derivatives using binning |
Usage: | {delta,dvar} = adeslp(x,y,d,m) | |
Input: | ||
x | n x p matrix , the observed explanatory variable | |
y | n x 1 matrix , the observed response variable | |
d | p x 1 vector or scalar , the binwidth or the grid | |
m | p x 1 vector or scalar , the bandwidth to be used during estimation of the scores | |
Output: | ||
delta | p x 1 vector , the ADE estimate | |
dvar | p x p matrix , the estimated asymptotic covariance matrix of delta |
