A simple root n bandwidth selector
The asymptotically best bandwidth selectors for a kernel density estimator currently require the use of either unappealing higher order kernel pilot estimators or related Fourier transform methods. The point of this paper is to present a methodology which allows the fastest possible rate of convergence with the use of only nonnegative kernel estimators at all stages of the selection process. Th...
متن کاملImprovement of a data based bandwidth selector
A recently proposed data based method for choosing the bandwidth of a kernel density estimator is considered. Intuitive and asymptotic reasons are given for why the selected bandwidth should be smaller than is appropriate. This conflicts with the results of a simulation study. The conflict is resolved through a deeper asymptotic analysis. Further simulation results investigate the issue of what...
متن کاملA Simple Span Selector for Periodogram Smoothing
One approach to estimating the spectral density of a stationary time series is to smooth the peri-odogram and one important component of this approach is the choice of the span for smoothing. This note proposes a new span selector which is based on unbiased risk estimation. The proposed span selector is simple, and does not impose strong conditions on the unknown spectrum. For example , it does...
متن کاملA variable bandwidth selector in multivariate kernel density estimation
Based on a random sample of size n from an unknown d-dimensional density f , the problem of selecting the variable (or adaptive) bandwidth in kernel estimation of f is investigated. The common strategy is to express the variable bandwidth at each observation as the product of a local bandwidth factor and a global smoothing parameter. For selecting the local bandwidth factor a method based on cl...
متن کاملEvaluation of Root-n Bandwidth Selectors for Kernel Density Estimation
The kernel density estimator is used commonly for estimating animal utilization distributions from location data. This technique requires estimation of a bandwidth, for which ecologists often use least-squares cross-validation (LSCV). However, LSCV has large variance and a tendency to under-smooth data, and it fails to generate a bandwidth estimate in some situations. We compared performance of...
