چکیده
A class of semi-recursive kernel type estimates of functions depending on multivariate density functionals and their derivatives is considered. The piecewise smoothed approximations of these estimates are proposed. The convergence with probability one of the estimates is proved. The main parts of the asymptotic mean square errors of the estimates are found. The examples of estimation of the production function, the marginal productivity and the marginal rate of technical substitution of inputs are given. Copyright c © 2007 IFAC

Nonparametric Identification of the Production Functions
A class of semi-recursive kernel plug-in estimates of functions depending on multivariate density functionals and their derivatives is considered. The approach enables to estimate the production function, marginal productivity and marginal rate of technical substitution of inputs. The piecewise smoothed approximations of these estimates are proposed. The main parts of the asymptotic mean square...
متن کاملKernel Type Plug-in Estimators of Functions of Multidimensional Density Functionals and Their Derivatives1
We consider a unified approach to investigation of plug-in pointwise estimators of the functions of the multidimensional density functionals and the derivatives of the functionals, including the functions of the conditional functionals and their derivatives, based on kernel estimators of the substitution elements. Let (Xt)t≥0 be a sequence of random variables satisfying the strong mixing (s.m.)...
متن کاملOptimal bandwidth selection for semi-recursive kernel regression estimators
In this paper we propose an automatic selection of the bandwidth of the semi-recursive kernel estimators of a regression function defined by the stochastic approximation algorithm. We showed that, using the selected bandwidth and some special stepsizes, the proposed semi-recursive estimators will be very competitive to the nonrecursive one in terms of estimation error but much better in terms o...
متن کاملLarge and moderate deviations principles for recursive kernel estimators of a multivariate density and its partial derivatives
Abstract: In this paper we prove large and moderate deviations principles for the recursive kernel estimator of a probability density function and its partial derivatives. Unlike the density estimator, the derivatives estimators exhibit a quadratic behaviour not only for the moderate deviations scale but also for the large deviations one. We provide results both for the pointwise and the unifor...
متن کاملUniform in Bandwidth Estimation of Integral Functionals of the Density Function
EVARIST GINÉ and DAVID M. MASON Department of Mathematics, University of Connecticut and Statistics Program, University of Delaware ABSTRACT. We apply recent results on local U–statistcs to obtain uniform in bandwidth consistency and central limit theorems for some commonly used estimators of integral functionals of density functions. key words: kernel density estimator, uniform in bandwidth, U...
