Hi, Doug and others:
What might be the best tools for modeling an additive variance
structure for residuals, something like the following:
var(resid) = s0.2*(1+var.pred) + daysFromTraining*var(process
migration per day),
where var.pred = relative variance of prediction error = something
roughly like crossprod(x, solve(crossprod(X), x)),
and var(process migration per day) = the variance of a random walk
of some process characteristic.
My data are residuals from predictions from models produced by a
data mining algorithm with various choices for training and test sets.
I've been using 'gls' to fit models using 'varFunc' classes. However,
'varComb' models the relative standard deviation as a product of
components from different sources. I'm thinking of creating 'varSumSq'
functions by modifying your 'varComb' code to model an additive (not
multiplicative) variance structure.
Might there be other tools for modeling an additive variance
structure? Alternatively, does it sound sensible to create 'varSumSq'
functions similar to 'varComb'?
Thanks,
Spencer Graves
