Interactive local bandwidth choice
نویسندگان
چکیده
A tool for user choice of the local bandwidth function for a kernel density estimate is developed using KDE, a graphical object-oriented package for interactive kernel density estimation written in LISP-STAT. The bandwidth function is a cubic spline, whose knots are manipulated by the user in one window, while the resulting estimate appears in another window. A real data illustration of this method raises concerns, because an extremely large family of estimates is available .

Variable data driven bandwidth choice in nonparametric quantile regression
The choice of a smoothing parameter or bandwidth is crucial when applying nonparametric regression estimators. In nonparametric mean regression various methods for bandwidth selection exists. But in nonparametric quantile regression bandwidth choice is still an unsolved problem. In this paper a selection procedure for local varying bandwidths based on the asymptotic mean squared error (MSE) of ...
متن کاملEmpirical Bias Bandwidth Choice for Local Polynomial Matching Estimators
This paper addresses the choice of an optimal smoothing parameter for local polynomial matching. A version of Empirical Bias Bandwidth Selection (EBBS) proposed by Ruppert (1997) is applied to account for the MSE computation of the matching estimator. Thereby, an estimator for the large sample variance of the local polynomial matching estimator is also provided. A Monte Carlo study indicates be...
متن کاملPerformance of Bandwidth Selection Rules for the Local Linear Regression
The choice of bandwidth is crucial in the nonparametric estimation procedure. A number of methods to choose the associated bandwidth have been developed. In this paper we studied three existing bandwidth selectors for local linear regression with different design matrix characteristics. The performances illustrate that although there is no uniformly dominating rule, the variable bandwidth selec...
متن کاملLocal bandwidth selectors for deconvolution kernel density estimation
We consider kernel density estimation when the observations are contaminated by measurement errors. It is well known that the success of kernel estimators depends heavily on the choice of a smoothing parameter called the bandwidth. A number of data-driven bandwidth selectors exist in the literature, but they are all global. Such techniques are appropriate when the density is relatively simple, ...
متن کاملTwo Approaches for Applet-based Visible Human Slice Extraction
Real-time interactive slicing is a tool of choice for exploring 3D anatomic data sets such as the Visible Human. We offer real-time slicing on the Web by partitioning the application between a Java applet (the client) and the Web server. Two approaches for partitioning the work between the client and the server are presented and compared. In the first approach, we transfer complete compressed s...
