Model Indexing and Smoothing Parameter Selection in Nonparametric Function Estimation
Smoothing parameter selection is among the most intensively studied subjects in nonpara-metric function estimation. A closely related issue, that of identifying a proper index for the smoothing parameter, is however largely neglected in the existing literature. Through heuris-tic arguments and simple simulations, we shall illustrate that most current working indices are conceptually \incorrect"...
متن کاملGradient Based Smoothing Parameter Selection for Nonparametric Regression Estimation*
Data-driven bandwidth selection based on the gradient of an unknown regression function is considered. Uncovering gradients nonparametrically is of crucial importance across a broad range of economic environments such as determining risk premium or recovering distributions of individual preferences. The procedure developed here is shown to deliver bandwidths which have the optimal rate of conve...
متن کاملModel Selection, Estimation, and Bootstrap Smoothing
Classical statistical theory ignores model selection in assessing estimation accuracy. Here we consider bootstrap methods for computing standard errors and confidence intervals that take model selection into account. The methodology involves bootstrap smoothing, also known as bagging, to tame the erratic discontinuities of selection-based estimators. A projection theorem then provides standard ...
متن کاملStatistical Topology Using the Nonparametric Density Estimation and Bootstrap Algorithm
This paper presents approximate confidence intervals for each function of parameters in a Banach space based on a bootstrap algorithm. We apply kernel density approach to estimate the persistence landscape. In addition, we evaluate the quality distribution function estimator of random variables using integrated mean square error (IMSE). The results of simulation studies show a significant impro...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of Hazard Rate under the Constraint of Monotonicity
We show how to smoothly`monotonise' standard kernel estimators of hazard rate, using bootstrap weights. Our method takes a variety of forms, depending on choice of kernel estimator and on the distance function used to deene a certain constrained optimisation problem. We connne attention to a particularly simple kernel approach, and explore a range of distance functions. It is straightforward to...
