Composite method for bias-corrected and robust kernel estimator

相对于参数估计的均方收敛速度O(n-1),核估计的收敛速度较慢且对窗宽的选择敏感.为了克服上述缺点,本文提出复合核估计法,首先选择不同的窗宽做相应的核估计,然后通过一个参数回归方法将备选的估计量重新组合,所得到的新估计量不采用高阶核即可获得较小的均方误差且对窗宽的选择稳健,从而改进了通常的核估计.模拟研究证实了上述方法的优越性.

Mean Integrated Squared Error of Nonlinear Wavelet-based Estimators with Long Memory Data

We consider the nonparametric regression model with long memory data that are not necessarily Gaussian and provide an asymptotic expansion for the mean integrated squared error (MISE) of nonlinear wavelet-based mean regression function estimators. We show this MISE expansion, when the underlying mean regression function is only piecewise smooth, is the same as analogous expansion for the kernel estimators. However, for the kernel estimators, this MISE expansion generally fails if an additional smoothness assumption is absent. Research supported in part by the NSF grant DMS-0103939.     

Nonlinear wavelet density estimation with censored dependent data

In this paper, we provide an asymptotic expansion for the mean integrated squared error (MISE) of nonlinear wavelet estimator of survival density for a censorship model when the data exhibit some kind of dependence. It is assumed that the observations form a stationary and α‐mixing sequence. This asymptotic MISE expansion, when the density is only piecewise smooth, is same. However, for the kernel estimators, the MISE expansion fails if the additional smoothness assumption is absent. Also, we establish the asymptotic normality of the nonlinear wavelet estimator.

Wavelet estimation of conditional density with truncated, censored and dependent data

In this paper we define a new nonlinear wavelet-based estimator of conditional density function for a random left truncation and right censoring model. We provide an asymptotic expression for the mean integrated squared error (MISE) of the estimator. It is assumed that the lifetime observations form a stationary α-mixing sequence. Unlike for kernel estimators, the MISE expression of the wavelet-based estimators is not affected by the presence of discontinuities in the curves. Also, asymptotic normality of the estimator is established.     

Polygonal smoothing of the empirical distribution function

We present two families of polygonal estimators of the distribution function: the first family is based on the knowledge of the support while the second addresses the case of an unknown support. Polygonal smoothing is a simple and natural method for regularizing the empirical distribution function \(F_n\) but its properties have not been studied deeply. First, consistency and exponential type inequalities are derived from well-known convergence properties of \(F_n\). Then, we study their mean integrated squared error (MISE) and we establish that polygonal estimators may improve the MISE of \(F_n\). We conclude by some numerical results to compare these estimators globally, and also together with the integrated kernel distribution estimator.     

Convergence rates in density estimation for data from infinite-order moving average processes

Summary The effect of long-range dependence in nonparametric probability density estimation is investigated under the assumption that the observed data are a sample from a stationary, infinite-order moving average process. It is shown that to first order, the mean integrated squared error (MISE) of a kernel estimator for moving average data may be expanded as the sum of MISE of the kernel estimator for a same-sizerandom sample, plus a term proportional to the variance of the moving average sample mean. The latter term does not depend on bandwidth, and so imposes a ceiling on the convergence rate of a kernel estimator regardless of how bandwidth is chosen. This ceiling can be quite significant in the case of long-range dependence. We show thatall density estimators have the convergence rate ceiling possessed by kernel estimators.The research of Dr. Hart was done while he was visiting the Australian National University, and was supported in part by ONR Contract N00014-85-K-0723     

Optimal kernel estimation of densities

Precise asymptotic behavior for mean integrated squared error (MISE) is determined for sequences of kernel estimators of a density in a broad class, including discontinuous and possibly unbounded densities. The paper shows that the sequence using the kernel optimal at each fixed sample size is asymptotically more efficient than a sequence generated by changing the bandwidth of a fixed kernel shape, regardless of the kernel shape. The class of densities considered are those whose characteristic functions behave at large arguments like the product of a Fourier series and a regularly varying function. This condition may be related to the smoothness of an m-th derivative of the density.Partially supported by National Science Foundation Grant DMS-8711924.     

Asymptotically optimal choice of the smoothing parameter in a nonparametric kernel estimator for a probability density

This paper presents a method of estimation of an “optimal” smoothing parameter (window width) in kernel estimators for a probability density. The obtained estimator is calculated directly from observations. By “optimal” smoothing parameters we mean those parameters which minimize the mean integral square error (MISE) or the integral square error (ISE) of approximation of an unknown density by the kernel estimator. It is shown that the asymptotic “optimality” properties of the proposed estimator correspond (with respect to the order) to those of the well-known cross-validation procedure [1, 2].

Probability density estimation with surrogate data and validation sample

The probability density estimation problem with surrogate data and validation sample is considered. A regression calibration kernel density estimator is defined to incorporate the information contained in both surrogate variates and validation sample. Also, we define two weighted estimators which have less asymptotic variances but have bigger biases than the regression calibration kernel density estimator. All the proposed estimators are proved to be asymptotically normal. And the asymptotic representations for the mean squared error and mean integrated square error of the proposed estimators are established, respectively. A simulation study is conducted to compare the finite sample behaviors of the proposed estimators.
