Estimating the variance of a kernel density estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article proposes an interval-valued extension of kernel density estimation. We show that the imprecision of this interval-valued estimation is highly correlated with the variance of the density estimation induced by the statistical variations of the set of observations.

متن کاملComparison of the Gamma kernel and the orthogonal series methods of density estimation
The standard kernel density estimator suffers from a boundary bias issue for probability density function of distributions on the positive real line. The Gamma kernel estimators and orthogonal series estimators are two alternatives which are free of boundary bias. In this paper, a simulation study is conducted to compare small-sample performance of the Gamma kernel estimators and the orthog...
متن کاملBayesian bandwidth estimation for a nonparametric functional regression model with unknown error density
Error density estimation in a nonparametric functional regression model with functional predictor and scalar response is considered. The unknown error density is approximated by a mixture of Gaussian densities with means being the individual residuals, and variance as a constant parameter. This proposed mixture error density has a form of a kernel density estimator of residuals, where the regre...
