Orthogonal Polynomial Density Estimates: Alternative Representation and Degree Selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
The density estimates considered in this paper comprise a base density and an adjustment component consisting of a linear combination of orthogonal polynomials. It is shown that, in the context of density approximation, the coefficients of the linear combination can be determined either from a moment-matching technique or a weighted least-squares approach. A kernel representation of the corresponding density estimates is obtained. Additionally, two refinements of the Kronmal-Tarter stopping criterion are proposed for determining the degree of the polynomial adjustment. By way of illustration, the density estimation methodology advocated herein is applied to two data sets. Keywords—kernel density estimation, orthogonal polynomials, moment-based methodologies, density approximation.

Polynomial Multivariate Density Estimates and Approximants
It is often the case that the exact moments of a continuous distribution whose support is confined to a closed interval can be explicitly determined, while its exact density function either does not lend itself to numerical evaluation or proves to be mathematically intractable. A representation of a least-squares approximating polynomial which does not rely on orthogonal polynomials, is obtaine...
متن کاملHyperinterpolation on the sphere
In this paper we survey hyperinterpolation on the sphere Sd, d ≥ 2. The hyperinterpolation operator Ln is a linear projection onto the space Pn(S) of spherical polynomials of degree≤ n, which is obtained from L2(S)-orthogonal projection onto Pn(S) by discretizing the integrals in the L2(S) inner products by a positive-weight numerical integration rule of polynomial degree of exactness 2n. Thus ...
متن کاملRemez-, Nikolskii-, and Markov-Type Inequalities for Generalized Nonnegative Polynomials with Restricted Zeros
Generalized nonnegative polynomials were studied in a sequence of recent papers [4], [6], [7], [8], and [9]. A number of well-known inequalities in approximation theory were extended to them, by utilizing the generalized degree in place of the ordinary one. Our motivation was to find tools to examine systems of orthogonal polynomials simultaneously, associated with generalized Jacobi, or at lea...
متن کاملA Meta Heuristic Method Representation for Selection of Alternative Energy Production Methods
In the science of operation research and decision theory, selection is the most important process. Selection is a process that studies multiple qualitative and quantitative criteria, related to the science of management, which are mostly incompatible with each other. The multi criteria selection of a renewable energy portfolio is one of the main issues considered in multi criteria literatur...
متن کاملAccessible Methodologies for Estimating Density Functions
It is often the case that the moments of a distribution can be readily determined, while its exact density function is mathematically intractable. We show that the density function of a continuous distribution defined on a closed interval can be easily approximated from its exact moments by solving a linear system involving a Hilbert matrix. When sample moments are being used, the same linear s...
