Kernel density estimation via diffusion

ZI Botev, JF Grotowski, DP Kroese - 2010 - projecteuclid.org
We present a new adaptive kernel density estimator based on linear diffusion processes.
The proposed estimator builds on existing ideas for adaptive smoothing by incorporating …

[图书][B] Smoothing methods in statistics

JS Simonoff - 2012 - books.google.com
The existence of high speed, inexpensive computing has made it easy to look at data in
ways that were once impossible. Where once a data analyst was forced to make restrictive …

Beta kernel estimators for density functions

SX Chen - Computational Statistics & Data Analysis, 1999 - Elsevier
Kernel estimators using non-negative kernels are considered to estimate probability density
functions with compact supports. The kernels are chosen from a family of beta densities. The …

Probability density function estimation using gamma kernels

SX Chen - Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics, 2000 - Springer
We consider estimating density functions which have support on [0,∞) using some gamma
probability densities as kernels to replace the fixed and symmetric kernel used in the …

Copula-based multivariate flood probability construction: a review

S Latif, F Mustafa - Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2020 - Springer
Basin perspective hydrology and hydraulic water-related queries often demanding an
accurate estimation of flood exceedance probabilities or return periods for assessing …

Including covariates in the regression discontinuity design

M Frölich, M Huber - Journal of Business & Economic Statistics, 2019 - Taylor & Francis
This article proposes a fully nonparametric kernel method to account for observed covariates
in regression discontinuity designs (RDD), which may increase precision of treatment effect …

On boundary correction in kernel density estimation

RJ Karunamuni, T Alberts - Statistical Methodology, 2005 - Elsevier
It is well known now that kernel density estimators are not consistent when estimating a
density near the finite end points of the support of the density to be estimated. This is due to …

Estimating territory and home-range sizes: do singing locations alone provide an accurate estimate of space use?

NM Anich, TJ Benson, JC Bednarz - The Auk, 2009 - academic.oup.com
Documenting space-use patterns of animals is important for understanding their ecology
and providing for their conservation. The concept of territory refers to a defended area …

Consistency of asymmetric kernel density estimators and smoothed histograms with application to income data

T Bouezmarni, O Scaillet - Econometric Theory, 2005 - cambridge.org
We consider asymmetric kernel density estimators and smoothed histograms when the
unknown probability density function f is defined on [0,+∞). Uniform weak consistency on …

An improved estimator of the density function at the boundary

S Zhang, RJ Karunamuni, MC Jones - Journal of the American …, 1999 - Taylor & Francis
We propose a new method of boundary correction for kernel density estimation. The
technique is a kind of generalized reflection method involving reflecting a transformation of …
