On the Robustness of Kernel Density M-Estimators
We analyze a method for nonparametric density estimation that exhibits robustness to contamination of the training sample. This method achieves robustness by combining a traditional kernel density estimator (KDE) with ideas from classical M -estimation. The KDE based on a Gaussian kernel is interpreted as a sample mean in the associated reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). This mean is esti...
متن کاملM-estimators as GMM for Stable Laws Discretizations
This paper is devoted to "Some Discrete Distributions Generated by Standard Stable Densities" (in short, Discrete Stable Densities). The large-sample properties of M-estimators as obtained by the "Generalized Method of Moments" (GMM) are discussed for such distributions. Some corollaries are proposed. Moreover, using the respective results we demonstrate the large-sample pro...
متن کاملRobustness Analysis and Tractability in Modeling
In the philosophy of science and epistemology literature, robustness analysis has become an umbrella term that refers to a variety of strategies. One of the main purposes of this paper is to argue that different strategies rely on different criteria for justifications. More specifically, I will claim that: i) robustness analysis differs from de-idealization even though the two concepts have oft...
متن کاملM-FUZZIFYING TOPOLOGICAL CONVEX SPACES
The main purpose of this paper is to introduce the compatibility of $M$-fuzzifying topologies and $M$-fuzzifying convexities, define an $M$-fuzzifying topological convex space, and give a method to generate an $M$-fuzzifying topological convex space. Some characterizations of $M$-fuzzifying topological convex spaces are presented. Finally, the notion of $M$-fuzzifying weak topologies is obtaine...
متن کاملRobustness properties of dispersion estimators
In this paper, we derive the in uence function of dispersion estimators, based on a scale approach. The relation between the gross-error sensitivity of dispersion estimators and the one of the underlying scale estimator is described. We show that for the bivariate Gaussian distributions, the asymptotic variance of covariance estimators is minimal in the independent case, and is strictly increas...
