On Efficiency Criteria in Density Estimation
author
Abstract:
We discuss the classical efficiency criteria in density estimation and propose some variants. The context is a general density estimation scheme that contains the cases of i.i.d. or dependent random variables, in discrete or continuous time. Unbiased estimation, optimality and asymptotic optimality are considered. An example of a density estimator that satisfies some suggested criteria is given.

Estimation of Density using Plotless Density Estimator Criteria in Arasbaran Forest
Sampling methods have a theoretical basis and should be operational in different forests; therefore selecting an appropriate sampling method is effective for accurate estimation of forest characteristics. The purpose of this study was to estimate the stand density (number per hectare) in Arasbaran forest using a variety of the plotless density estimators of the nearest neighbors sampling me...
full textEfficiency Estimation Criteria of Lossy Compression Methods of Measurement Signals
− The paper presents problems of compressing measurement signals recorded under long-lasting monitoring conditions. The criteria for compression method selection in view of its efficiency (compression ratio) and quality of conversion (coding-decoding procedure), with regard to dynamic properties of the measurement signals are discussed. Attention is given to the interdependence of the achieved ...
full textSome criteria of regeneration density in young beech populations
Some criteria of density in beech saplings were studied in various forest associations (mainly Galio odorati-Fagetum typicum) growing in the submontane region near Zurich (Swiss Central Plateau). The sample plots were established in regeneration gaps resulting from Swiss irregular shelter wood system (Femelschlag). Five sample plots, each 2x2m in 3 transects (a total of 15 plots in each gap, x...
full textDensity estimation on small datasets
How might a smooth probability distribution be estimated, with accurately quantified uncertainty, from a limited amount of sampled data? Here we describe a field-theoretic approach that addresses this problem remarkably well in one dimension, providing an exact nonparametric Bayesian posterior without relying on tunable parameters or large-data approximations. Strong non-Gaussian constraints, w...

This paper concerns the cubic smoothing spline approach to nonparametric regression. After first deriving sharp asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues of the smoothing matrix, the paper uses these formulas to investigate the efficiency of different selection criteria for choosing the smoothing parameter. Special attention is paid to the generalized maximum likelihood (GML), Cp and extended exp...
full textOn Locally Adaptive Density Estimation
In this paper, theoretical and practical aspects of the sample-point adaptive positive kernel density estimator are examined. A closed-form expression for the mean integrated squared error is obtained through the device of preprocessing the data by binning. With this expression, the exact behavior of the optimally adaptive smoothing parameter function is studied for the rst time. The approach d...
