CDF and Survival Function Estimation with Infinite-Order Kernels∗
An improved nonparametric estimator of the cumulative distribution function (CDF) and the survival function is proposed using infinite-order kernels. Fourier transform theory on generalized functions is utilized to obtain the improved bias estimates. The new estimators are analyzed in terms of their relative deficiency to the empirical distribution function and Kaplan-Meier estimator, and even ...
متن کاملDensity Estimation of Censored Data with Infinite-Order Kernels
Higher-order accurate density estimation under random right censorship is achieved using kernel estimators from a family of infinite-order kernels. A compatible bandwidth selection procedure is also proposed that automatically adapts to level of smoothness of the underlying lifetime density. The combination of infinite-order kernels with the new bandwidth selection procedure produces a consider...
متن کاملNonparametric Regression with Infinite Order Flat-Top Kernels
The problem of nonparametric regression is addressed, and a kernel smoothing estimator is proposed which has favorable asymptotic performance (bias, variance, and mean squared error). The proposed class of kernels is characterized by a Fourier transform which is flat near the origin and infinitely differentiable. This property allows the bias of the estimate to decrease at the maximal rate with...
متن کاملEstimation of the Survival Function for Negatively Dependent Random Variables
Let be a stationary sequence of pair wise negative quadrant dependent random variables with survival function {,1}nXn?F(x)=P[X>x]. The empirical survival function ()nFx based on 12,,...,nXXX is proposed as an estimator for ()nFx. Strong consistency and point wise as well as uniform of ()nFx are discussed
متن کاملBoundary Kernels for Distribution Function Estimation
• Boundary effects for kernel estimators of curves with compact supports are well known in regression and density estimation frameworks. In this paper we address the use of boundary kernels for distribution function estimation. We establish the ChungSmirnov law of iterated logarithm and an asymptotic expansion for the mean integrated squared error of the proposed estimator. These results show t...
