Multivariate Local Polynomial Kernel Estimators: Leading Bias and Asymptotic Distribution∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
Masry (1996b) provides estimation bias and variance expression for a general local polynomial kernel estimator in a general multivariate regression framework. Under smoother conditions on the unknown regression and by including more refined approximation terms than that in Masry (1996b), we extend the result of Masry (1996b) to obtain explicit leading bias terms for the whole vector of the local polynomial estimator. Specifically, we derive the leading bias and leading variance terms of nonparametric local polynomial kernel estimator in a general nonparametric multivariate regression model framework. The results can be used to obtain optimal smoothing parameters in local polynomial estimation of the unknown conditional mean function and its derivative functions.

Multivariate Locally Weighted Polynomial Fitting and Partial Derivative Estimation
Nonparametric regression estimator based on locally weighted least squares fitting has been studied by Fan and Ruppert and Wand. The latter paper also studies, in the univariate case, nonparametric derivative estimators given by a locally weighted polynomial fitting. Compared with traditional kernel estimators, these estimators are often of simpler form and possess some better properties. In th...
متن کاملTHE COMPARISON OF TWO METHOD NONPARAMETRIC APPROACH ON SMALL AREA ESTIMATION (CASE: APPROACH WITH KERNEL METHODS AND LOCAL POLYNOMIAL REGRESSION)
Small Area estimation is a technique used to estimate parameters of subpopulations with small sample sizes. Small area estimation is needed in obtaining information on a small area, such as sub-district or village. Generally, in some cases, small area estimation uses parametric modeling. But in fact, a lot of models have no linear relationship between the small area average and the covariat...
متن کاملMultivariate Regression Estimation : Local Polynomial Fitting for Time Series
We consider the estimation of the multivariate regression function m (x 1 , . . . ,xd) = E [ψ (Yd) | X 1 = x 1 , . . . ,Xd = xd], and its partial derivatives, for stationary random processes {Yi ,Xi} using local higher-order polynomial fitting. Particular cases of ψ yield estimation of the conditional mean, conditional moments and conditional distributions. Joint asymptotic normality is establi...
متن کاملBreaking the Bandwidth Barrier: Geometrical Adaptive Entropy Estimation
Estimators of information theoretic measures such as entropy and mutual information are a basic workhorse for many downstream applications in modern data science. State of the art approaches have been either geometric (nearest neighbor (NN) based) or kernel based (with a globally chosen bandwidth). In this paper, we combine both these approaches to design new estimators of entropy and mutual in...
متن کاملEstimating Lyapunov Exponents in Chaotic Time Series with Locally Weighted Regression
Nonlinear dynamical systems often exhibit chaos, which is characterized by sensitive dependence on initial values or more precisely by a positive Lyapunov exponent. Recognizing and quantifying chaos in time series represents an important step toward understanding the nature of random behavior and revealing the extent to which short-term forecasts may be improved. We will focus on the statistica...
