Using small bias nonparametric density estimators for confidence interval estimation
Confidence intervals for densities built on the basis of standard nonparametric theory are doomed to have poor coverage rates due to bias. Studies on coverage improvement exist, but reasonably behaved interval estimators are needed. We explore the use of small bias kernel-based methods to construct confidence intervals, in particular using a geometric density estimator that seems better suited ...
متن کاملNonparametric confidence interval estimators for heritability and expected selection response.
Statistical methods have not been described for comparing estimates of family-mean heritability (H) or expected selection response (R), nor have consistently valid methods been described for estimating R intervals. Nonparametric methods, e.g., delete-one jackknifing, may be used to estimate variances, intervals, and hypothesis test statistics in estimation problems where parametric methods are ...
متن کاملNonparametric confidence bands in deconvolution density estimation
Uniform confidence bands for densities f via nonparametric kernel estimates were first constructed by Bickel and Rosenblatt [Ann. Statist. 1, 1071–1095]. In this paper this is extended to confidence bands in the deconvolution problem g = f ∗ ψ for an ordinary smooth error density ψ. Under certain regularity conditions, we obtain asymptotic uniform confidence bands based on the asymptotic distri...
متن کاملSuper optimal rates for nonparametric density estimation via projection estimators
In this paper, we study the problem of the nonparametric estimation of the marginal density f of a class of continuous time processes. To this aim, we use a projection estimator and deal with the integrated mean square risk. Under Castellana and Leadbetter’s condition (Stoch. Proc. Appl. 21 (1986) 179), we show that our estimator reaches a parametric rate of convergence and coincides with the p...
متن کاملNonparametric multiplicative bias correction for kernel-type density estimation on the unit interval
We consider kernel-type methods for estimation of a density on [0, 1] which eschew explicit boundary correction. Our starting point is the successful implementation of beta kernel density estimators of Chen (1999). We propose and investigate two alternatives. For the first, we reverse the roles of estimation point x and datapoint Xi in each summand of the estimator. For the second, we provide k...
