The Relative Improvement of Bias Reduction in Density Estimator Using Geometric Extrapolated Kernel

Authors

Abstract:

One of a nonparametric procedures used to estimate densities is kernel method. In this paper, in order to reduce bias of  kernel density estimation, methods such as usual kernel(UK), geometric extrapolation usual kernel(GEUK), a bias reduction kernel(BRK) and a geometric extrapolation bias reduction kernel(GEBRK) are introduced. Theoretical properties, including the selection of smoothness parameter and the accuracy of resultant estimators are studied. Accordingly, the mean integrated squared error of GEBRK method achieve a faster convergence rate when kernels are symmetric, where n is the sample size. In order to evaluate the performance of these new estimators, we conduct a Monte Carlo simulation study. The obtained results are illustrated by analyzing real data. The results show that the amount of bias in the proposed BRK and GEBRK methods significantly decreases../files/site1/files/42/7Abstract.pdf

Using Kernel Density Estimator in Nonlinear Mixture

Generally, blind separation of sources from their nonlinear mixtures is rather difficult. This nonlinear mapping, constituted by unsupervised linear mixing followed by unknown and invertible nonlinear distortion, is found in many signal processing cases. We propose using a kernel density estimator incorporated within an equivariant gradient algorithm to separate the nonlinear mixed sources. The...

Consistency of the kernel density estimator

Various consistency proofs for the kernel density estimator have been developed over the last few decades. Important milestones are the pointwise consistency and almost sure uniform convergence with a fixed bandwidth on the one hand and the rate of convergence with a fixed or even a variable bandwidth on the other hand. While considering global properties of the empirical distribution functions...

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...

A Berry-Esseen Type Bound for the Kernel Density Estimator of Length-Biased Data

Length-biased data are widely seen in applications. They are mostly applicable in epidemiological studies or survival analysis in medical researches. Here we aim to propose a Berry-Esseen type bound for the kernel density estimator of this kind of data.The rate of normal convergence in the proposed Berry-Esseen type theorem is shown to be O(n^(-1/6) ) modulo logarithmic term as n tends to infin...

Boosting Kernel Density Estimates: a Bias Reduction Technique?

SUMMARY This paper proposes an algorithm for boosting kernel density estimates. We show that boosting is closely linked to a previously proposed method of bias reduction and indicate how it should enjoy similar properties. Numerical examples and simulations are used to illustrate the findings, and we also suggest further areas of research.
