If a linear smoother has fitted vector , its residual after fitting without observation is
The identity follows from a block matrix inverse or a rank-one inverse update.
The leave-one-out residual identity for a linear smoother, obtained from the block matrix inverse or the Sherman–Morrison formula, is
Hence
Compute once the spectral decomposition in operations and the vector in . For each , set
Then compute
Both calculations take operations per tuning parameter, after which the displayed leave-one-out formula costs . All scores therefore require operations.
