The leave-one-out residual identity for a linear smoother, obtained from the block matrix inverse or the Sherman–Morrison formula, isHence
Compute once the spectral decomposition in operations and the vector in . For each , setThen computeBoth calculations take operations per tuning parameter, after which the displayed leave-one-out formula costs . All scores therefore require operations.
