Nonparametric Kernel Estimation of Annual Maximum Stream Flow Quantiles
نویسنده
چکیده
A nonparametric kernel methods is proposed and evaluated performance for estimating annual maximum stream flow quantiles. The bandwidth of the estimator is estimated by using an optimal technique and a cross-validation technique. Results obtained from a limited amount of real data from Malaysia show that quantiles estimated by nonparametric method using these techniques have small root mean square error and root mean absolute error. Based on correlation coefficient test shown that the nonparametric model approach is accurate, uniform and flexible alternatives to parametric models for flood frequency analysis.

Reference curves estimation via Sliced Inverse Regression
In order to obtain reference curves for data sets when the covariate is multidimensional, we propose a new methodology based on dimension-reduction and nonparametric estimation of conditional quantiles. This semiparametric approach combines sliced inverse regression (SIR) and a kernel estimation of conditional quantiles. The convergence of the derived estimator is shown. By a simulation study, ...

We propose a quantile-based nonparametric approach to inference on the probability density function (PDF) of the private values in rst-price sealedbid auctions with independent private values. Our method of inference is based on a fully nonparametric kernel-based estimator of the quantiles and PDF of observable bids. Our estimator attains the optimal rate of Guerre, Perrigne, and Vuong (2000),...

متن کاملNonparametric quantile estimation with correlated failure time data.
In biomedical studies, correlated failure time data arise often. Although point and confidence interval estimation for quantiles with independent censored failure time data have been extensively studied, estimation for quantiles with correlated failure time data has not been developed. In this article, we propose a nonparametric estimation method for quantiles with correlated failure time data....
