Asymptotic normality of a nonparametric estimator of sample coverage
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper establishes a necessary and sufficient condition for the asymptotic normality of the nonparametric estimator of sample coverage proposed by Good [Biometrica 40 (1953) 237–264]. This new necessary and sufficient condition extends the validity of the asymptotic normality beyond the previously proven cases.

Asymptotic Behaviors of Nearest Neighbor Kernel Density Estimator in Left-truncated Data
Kernel density estimators are the basic tools for density estimation in non-parametric statistics. The k-nearest neighbor kernel estimators represent a special form of kernel density estimators, in which the bandwidth is varied depending on the location of the sample points. In this paper, we initially introduce the k-nearest neighbor kernel density estimator in the random left-truncatio...
متن کاملA kernel type nonparametric density estimator for decompounding
Given a sample from a discretely observed compound Poisson process we consider estimation of the density of the jump sizes. We propose a kernel type nonparametric density estimator and study its asymptotic properties. Asymptotic expansions of the bias and variance of the estimator are given and pointwise weak consistency and asymptotic normality are established. We also derive the minimax conve...
متن کاملWeighted Nadaraya-Watson estimation of conditional expected shortfall
This paper addresses the problem of nonparametric estimation of the conditional expected shortfall (CES) which has gained popularity in financial risk management. We propose a new nonparametric estimator of the CES. The proposed estimator is defined as a conditional counterpart of the sample average estimator of the unconditional expected shortfall, where the empirical distribution function is ...
متن کاملA unified approach for nonparametric evaluation of agreement in method comparison studies.
We present a nonparametric methodology for evaluation of agreement between multiple methods of measurement of a continuous variable. Our approach is unified in that it can deal with any scalar measure of agreement currently available in the literature, and can incorporate repeated and unreplicated measurements, and balanced as well as unbalanced designs. Our key idea is to treat an agreement me...
متن کاملNonparametric regression with rescaled time series errors
We consider a heteroscedastic nonparametric regression model with an autoregressive error process of finite known order p. The heteroscedasticity is incorporated using a scaling function defined at uniformly spaced design points on an interval [0,1]. We provide an innovative nonparametric estimator of the variance function and establish its consistency and asymptotic normality. We also propose ...
