Nonparametric estimation and symmetry tests for conditional density functions
We suggest two improved methods for conditional density estimation. The first is based on locally fitting a log-linear model, and is in the spirit of recent work on locally parametric techniques in density estimation. The second method is a constrained local polynomial estimator. Both methods always produce non-negative estimators. We propose an algorithm suitable for selecting the two bandwidt...

متن کاملFast Nonparametric Conditional Density Estimation
Conditional density estimation. The idea of conditional density estimation is to construct a density estimate f̂(y|x) for a dependent variable y, conditional on a vector of variables x. This can be seen as a generalization of regression, where instead of estimating the expected value E(y|x) alone, we instead model the full density. This is especially important for multi-modal densities, where th...
متن کاملHigh-dimensional nonparametric density estimation via symmetry and shape constraints
We tackle the problem of high-dimensional nonparametric density estimation by taking the class of log-concave densities on Rp and incorporating within it a symmetry assumption, which both mitigates the curse of dimensionality and admits a scalable estimation algorithm. The case of spherical symmetry is studied in detail through the notion of spherically symmetric log-concave projection. In the ...
متن کاملNonparametric Conditional Estimation
Many nonparametric regression techniques (such as kernels, nearest neighbors, and smoothing splines) estimate the conditional mean of Y given X = z by a weighted sum of observed Y values, where observations with X values near z tend to have larger weights. In this report the weights are taken to represent a finite signed measure on the space of Y values. This measure is studied as an estimate o...
