Nonparametric Divergence Estimation
A. The von Mises Expansion Before diving into the auxiliary results of Section 5, let us first derive some properties of the von Mises expansion. It is a simple calculation to verify that the Gateaux derivative is simply the functional derivative of in the event that T (F ) = R (f). Lemma 8. Let T (F ) = R (f)dμ where f = dF/dμ is the Radon-Nikodym derivative, is differentiable and let G be som...
متن کاملNonparametric Regression Estimation under Kernel Polynomial Model for Unstructured Data
The nonparametric estimation(NE) of kernel polynomial regression (KPR) model is a powerful tool to visually depict the effect of covariates on response variable, when there exist unstructured and heterogeneous data. In this paper we introduce KPR model that is the mixture of nonparametric regression models with bootstrap algorithm, which is considered in a heterogeneous and unstructured framewo...
متن کاملVariogram Model Selection via Nonparametric Derivative Estimation
Before optimal linear prediction can be performed on spatial data sets, the variogram is usually estimated at various lags and a parametric model is fitted to those estimates. Apart from possible a priori knowledge about the process and the user’s subjectivity, there is no standard methodology for choosing among valid variogram models like the spherical or the exponential ones. This paper discu...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of Renyi Divergence and Friends
We consider nonparametric estimation of L2, Rényi-α and Tsallis-α divergences between continuous distributions. Our approach is to construct estimators for particular integral functionals of two densities and translate them into divergence estimators. For the integral functionals, our estimators are based on corrections of a preliminary plug-in estimator. We show that these estimators achieve t...
متن کاملMinimum Phi-Divergence Estimators and Phi-Divergence Test Statistics in Contingency Tables with Symmetry Structure: An Overview
In the last years minimum phi-divergence estimators (MφE) and phi-divergence test statistics (φTS) have been introduced as a very good alternative to classical likelihood ratio test and maximum likelihood estimator for different statistical problems. The main purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the main results presented until now in contingency tables with symmetry structure on ...
