ISBN 978-91-554-9089-8. The statistical practice of equating is needed when scores on different versions of the same standardized test are to be compared. This thesis constitutes four contributions...
متن کاملOn adaptive smoothing in kernel discriminant analysis
One popular application of kernel density estimation is in kernel discriminant analysis, where kernel estimates of population densities are plugged in the Bayes rule to develop a nonparametric classifier. Performance of these kernel density estimates and that of the corresponding classifier depend on the values of associated smoothing parameters commonly known as the bandwidths. Bandwidths that...
متن کاملGlobal Optimization via a Modified Potential Smoothing Kernel
A new potential smoothing method, the shifted-tophat (or stophat) is presented. This method uses a tophat function as the smoothing kernel, instead of the gaussian used in conventional methods. Stophat smoothing is applied, as part of the Potential Smoothing and Search (PSS) procedure for global optimization, to several biomolecular problems, including polyalanine helices, united-atom and all-a...

متن کاملOn kernel smoothing for extremal quantile regression
Nonparametric regression quantiles obtained by inverting a kernel estimator of the conditional distribution of the response are long established in statistics. Attention has been, however, restricted to ordinary quantiles staying away from the tails of the conditional distribution. The purpose of this paper is to extend their asymptotic theory far enough into the tails. We focus on extremal qua...
