Bias Reduction in Kernel Density Estimation by Smoothed Empirical Transformations
通过平滑经验变换降低核密度估计偏差
A modification of kernel density estimation is proposed. The first step is ordinary kernel estimation of the density and its cdf. In the second step the data are transformed, using this estimated cdf, to an approximate uniform (or normal or other target) distribution. The density and cdf of the transformed data are then estimated by the kernel method and, by change of variable, converted to new estimates of the density and the cdf of the original data. This process is…
