A data-adaptive method for estimating density level sets under shape conditions
形状约束下密度水平集估计的数据自适应方法
Given a random sample of points from some unknown density, we propose a method for estimating density level sets, for a positive threshold t, under the r-convexity assumption. This shape condition generalizes the convexity property and allows to consider level sets with more than one connected component. The main problem in practice is that r is an unknown geometric characteristic of the set related to its curvature, which may depend on t. A stochastic algorithm is proposed…
