An Investigation into Adult Human Height Distributions Using Kernel Density Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study investigates how average adult human height distributions of various regions around the world have changed over time using a non-parametric approach. Performance kernel density estimators (KDEs) were compared between mixtures Gaussian created different means, variances and mixing weights. The performance was evaluated for these existing bandwidth selection methods, with kernels sample sizes it revealed distinct multi modes Sheather & Jones method performed better in general among considered. results this also that practical than can be achieved relatively smaller samples from gaussian through modified plug-in bandwidth. By applying findings simulation analysis on data related to heights cohorts, interesting observations made.

Bayesian adaptive bandwidth kernel density estimation of irregular multivariate distributions
Kernel density estimation is an important technique for understanding the distributional properties of data. Some investigations have found that the estimation of a global bandwidth can be heavily affected by observations in the tail. We propose to categorize data into lowand high-density regions, to which we assign two different bandwidths called the low-density adaptive bandwidths. We derive ...
متن کاملUnsupervised Discretization Using Kernel Density Estimation
Discretization, defined as a set of cuts over domains of attributes, represents an important preprocessing task for numeric data analysis. Some Machine Learning algorithms require a discrete feature space but in real-world applications continuous attributes must be handled. To deal with this problem many supervised discretization methods have been proposed but little has been done to synthesize...
متن کاملInformation Theoretic Clustering using Kernel Density Estimation
In recent years, information-theoretic clustering algorithms have been proposed which assign data points to clusters so as to maximize the mutual information between cluster labels and data [1, 2]. Using mutual information for clustering has several attractive properties: it is flexible enough to fit complex patterns in the data, and allows for a principled approach to clustering without assumi...
متن کاملKernel Density Estimation
Preface The following diploma thesis is thought to be a diploma thesis in applied statistics. I declare this in the first paragraph of my work, because you can treat this subject either from a theoretic or an applied view, although the borders between these two areas of statistics cannot be drawn exactly. The reason why I got the idea to treat this subject, is that on the one hand density estim...
