Asymptotic Behaviors of Nearest Neighbor Kernel Density Estimator in Left-truncated Data
author
Abstract:
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-truncation model, and then prove some of its asymptotic behaviors, such as strong uniform consistency and asymptotic normality. In particular, we show that the proposed estimator has truncation-free variance. Simulations are presented to illustrate the results and show how the estimator behaves for finite samples. Moreover, the proposed estimator is used to estimate the density function of a real data set.

The purpose of this paper is to provide some asymptotic results for nonparametric estimator of the Lorenz curve and Lorenz process for the case in which data are assumed to be strong mixing subject to random left truncation. First, we show that nonparametric estimator of the Lorenz curve is uniformly strongly consistent for the associated Lorenz curve. Also, a strong Gaussian approximation for ...

In this paper, we prove the strong uniform consistency and asymptotic normality of the kernel density estimator proposed by Jones [12] for length-biased data.The approach is based on the invariance principle for the empirical processes proved by Horváth [10]. All simulations are drawn for different cases to demonstrate both, consistency and asymptotic normality and the method is illustrated by ...

full textA Note on the Smooth Estimator of the Quantile Function with Left-Truncated Data
This note focuses on estimating the quantile function based on the kernel smooth estimator under a truncated dependent model. The Bahadurtype representation of the kernel smooth estimator is established, and from the Bahadur representation it can be seen that this estimator is strongly consistent.
full textAsymptotic normality of Hill Estimator for truncated data
The problem of estimating the tail index from truncated data is addressed in ?. In that paper, a sample based (and hence random) choice of k is suggested, and it is shown that the choice leads to a consistent estimator of the inverse of the tail index. In this paper, the second order behavior of the Hill estimator with that choice of k is studied, under some additional assumptions. In the untru...
