Statistical Topology Using the Nonparametric Density Estimation and Bootstrap Algorithm
This paper presents approximate confidence intervals for each function of parameters in a Banach space based on a bootstrap algorithm. We apply kernel density approach to estimate the persistence landscape. In addition, we evaluate the quality distribution function estimator of random variables using integrated mean square error (IMSE). The results of simulation studies show a significant impro...
متن کاملConstrained Least-Squares Density-Difference Estimation
We address the problem of estimating the difference between two probability densities. A naive approach is a two-step procedure that first estimates two densities separately and then computes their difference. However, such a two-step procedure does not necessarily work well because the first step is performed without regard to the second step and thus a small error in the first stage can cause...
متن کاملNonparametric regression estimation using penalized least squares
We present multivariate penalized least squares regression estimates. We use Vapnik{ Chervonenkis theory and bounds on the covering numbers to analyze convergence of the estimates. We show strong consistency of the truncated versions of the estimates without any conditions on the underlying distribution.
متن کاملState Price Density Estimation via Nonparametric Mixtures
We consider nonparametric estimation of the state price density encapsulated in option prices. Unlike usual density estimation problems, we only observe option prices and their corresponding strike prices rather than samples from the state price density. We propose to model the state price density directly with a nonparametric mixture and estimate it using least squares. We show that although t...
متن کاملNonparametric Least Squares Estimation in Derivative Families
Cost function estimation often involves data on a function and a family of its derivatives. It is known that by using such data the convergence rates of nonparametric estimators can be substantially improved. In this paper we propose series-type estimators which incorporate various derivative data into a single, weighted, nonparametric, least-squares procedure. Convergence rates are obtained, w...
