Asymptotic unbiased density estimators

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

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

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 n = 50, where we see an improvement of as much as 20% over the traditionnal estimator.

Asymptotically normal confidence intervals for a determinant in a generalized multivariate Gauss-Markoff model

Wiktor Oktaba (1995)

Applications of Mathematics

By using three theorems (Oktaba and Kieloch [3]) and Theorem 2.2 (Srivastava and Khatri [4]) three results are given in formulas (2.1), (2.8) and (2.11). They present asymptotically normal confidence intervals for the determinant | σ 2 | in the MGM model ( U , X B , σ 2 V ) , > 0 , scalar σ 2 > 0 , with a matrix V 0 . A known n × p random matrix U has the expected value E ( U ) = X B , where the n × d matrix X is a known matrix of an experimental design, B is an unknown d × p matrix of parameters and σ 2 V is the covariance matrix of U , being the symbol of the Kronecker...

Asymptotically optimal filtering in linear systems with fractional Brownian noises.

Marina L. Kleptsyna, Alain Le Breton, Michel Viot (2004)

SORT

In this paper, the filtering problem is revisited in the basic Gaussian homogeneous linear system driven by fractional Brownian motions. We exhibit a simple approximate filter which is asymptotically optimal in the sense that, when the observation time tends to infinity, the variance of the corresponding filtering error converges to the same limit as for the exact optimal filter.
