gradientcobra 1.1.4

Python implementation for Gradient COBRA by S. Has (2023) with other aggregation and kernel methods.

Introduction

Gradientcobra is python package implementation of Gradient COBRA method by S. Has (2023), as well as other aggregation and kernel methods. When the loss function of is smooth enough, gradient descent algorithm can be used to efficiently estimate the bandwidth parameter of the model.
