Nonparametric Estimation of Conditional Information and Divergences
In this paper we propose new nonparametric estimators for a family of conditional mutual information and divergences. Our estimators are easy to compute; they only use simple k nearest neighbor based statistics. We prove that the proposed conditional information and divergence estimators are consistent under certain conditions, and demonstrate their consistency and applicability by numerical ex...
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...
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 کاملDimension reduction in nonparametric models of production
It is well-known that the convergence rates of nonparametric efficiency estimators (e.g., free-disposal hull and data envelopment analysis estimators) become slower with increasing numbers of input and output quantities (i.e., dimensionality). Dimension reduction is often utilized in non-parametric density and regression where similar problems occur, but has been used in only a few instances in...
متن کاملConditional expectation estimation through attributable components
A general methodology is proposed for the explanation of variability in a quantity of interest x in terms of covariates z = (z1, . . . ,zL). It provides the conditional mean x̄(z) as a sum of components, where each component is represented as a product of non-parametric one-dimensional functions of each covariate zl that are computed through an alternating projection procedure. Both x and the zl...
