Notes

A linear model has the form:

where

is an matrix of values of a dependent variable;

is a scalar intercept term;

is an matrix of values of independent variables;

is an matrix of unknown values of parameters;

is an matrix of unknown random errors such that variance of .

Let be the mean-centred and the mean-centred . Furthermore, is scaled such that the diagonal elements of the cross product matrix are one. The linear model now takes the form:

Ridge regression estimates the parameters in a penalised least squares sense by finding the that minimizes

where denotes the -norm and is a scalar regularization or ridge parameter. For a given value of , the parameters estimates are found by evaluating

Note that if the ridge regression solution is equivalent to the ordinary least squares solution.

Rather than calculate the inverse of () directly, ridge uses the singular value decomposition (SVD) of . After decomposing into where and are orthogonal matrices and is a diagonal matrix, the parameter estimates become

A consequence of introducing the ridge parameter is that the effective number of parameters, , in the model is given by the sum of diagonal elements of

see Moody (1992) for details.

Any multi-collinearity in the design matrix may be highlighted by calculating the variance inflation factors for the fitted model. The th variance inflation factor, , is a scaled version of the multiple correlation coefficient between independent variable and the other independent variables, , and is given by

The variance inflation factors are calculated as the diagonal elements of the matrix:

which, using the SVD of , is equivalent to the diagonal elements of the matrix:

Given a value of , any or all of the following prediction criteria are available:

  1. Generalized cross-validation (GCV):

  2. Unbiased estimate of variance (UEV):

  3. Future prediction error (FPE):

  4. Bayesian information criterion (BIC):

  5. Leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV),

where is the sum of squares of residuals.

Although parameter estimates are calculated by using , it is usual to report the parameter estimates associated with . These are calculated from , and the means and scalings of . Optionally, either or may be calculated.
