Asymptotic unbiased density estimators

Nicolas W. Hengartner, Éric Matzner-Løber (2009)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

This paper introduces a computationally tractable density estimator that has the same asymptotic variance as the classical Nadaraya-Watson density estimator but whose asymptotic bias is zero. We achieve this result using a two stage estimator that applies a multiplicative bias correction to an oversmooth pilot estimator. Simulations show that our asymptotic results are available for samples as low as , where we see an improvement of as much as 20% over the traditionnal estimator. ...

Adaptive density estimation under weak dependence

Irène Gannaz, Olivier Wintenberger (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Assume that () is a real valued time series admitting a common marginal density with respect to Lebesgue's measure. [Donoho   (1996) 508–539] propose near-minimax estimators f ^ n based on thresholding wavelets to estimate f on a compact set in an independent and identically distributed setting. The aim of the present work is to extend these results to general weak dependent contexts. Weak dependence assumptions are expressed as decreasing bounds of covariance terms and...

Estimation of summary characteristics from replicated spatial point processes

Zbyněk Pawlas (2011)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

Summary characteristics play an important role in the analysis of spatial point processes. We discuss various approaches to estimating summary characteristics from replicated observations of a stationary point process. The estimators are compared with respect to their integrated squared error. Simulations for three basic types of point processes help to indicate the best way of pooling the subwindow estimators. The most appropriate way depends on the particular summary characteristic,...

A review of the results on the Stein approach for estimators improvement.

Vassiliy G. Voinov, Mikhail S. Nikulin (1995)

Qüestiió

Similarity:

Since 1956, a large number of papers have been devoted to Stein's technique of obtaining improved estimators of parameters, for several statistical models. We give a brief review of these papers, emphasizing those aspects which are interesting from the point of view of the theory of unbiased estimation.
