On the Accuracy of Binned Kernel Density Estimators
نویسندگان
چکیده
The accuracy of the binned kernel density estimator is studied for general binning rules. We derive mean squared error results for the closeness of this estimator to both the true density and the unbinned kernel estimator. The binning rule and smoothness of the kernel function are shown to innuence the accuracy of the binned kernel estimators. Our results are used to compare commonly used binning rules, and to determine the minimum grid size required to obtain a given level of accuracy.

The Relative Improvement of Bias Reduction in Density Estimator Using Geometric Extrapolated Kernel
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 para...
متن کاملComparison of the Gamma kernel and the orthogonal series methods of density estimation
The standard kernel density estimator suffers from a boundary bias issue for probability density function of distributions on the positive real line. The Gamma kernel estimators and orthogonal series estimators are two alternatives which are free of boundary bias. In this paper, a simulation study is conducted to compare small-sample performance of the Gamma kernel estimators and the orthog...
متن کاملAsymptotic 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...
متن کاملDensity Estimators for Truncated Dependent Data
In some long term studies, a series of dependent and possibly truncated lifetime data may be observed. Suppose that the lifetimes have a common continuous distribution function F. A popular stochastic measure of the distance between the density function f of the lifetimes and its kernel estimate fn is the integrated square error (ISE). In this paper, we derive a central limit theorem for t...
متن کاملStudy on the effect of forest stand distribution pattern on results of different estimators of the nearest individual distance method
The Nearest Individual Sampling Method is one of the distance sampling methods for estimating density, canopy cover and height of forest stands. Some distance sampling methods have more than one density estimator that may be skewed to the spatial pattern. Unless the stands of the trees under study have a random spatial pattern. Therefore, the purpose of this study was evaluating the effect of s...
