Estimation of Integrated Squared Density Derivatives from a Contaminated Sample
受噪声污染样本中密度导数平方积分的估计
Summary We propose a kernel estimator of integrated squared density derivatives, from a sample that has been contaminated by random noise. We derive asymptotic expressions for the bias and the variance of the estimator and show that the squared bias term dominates the variance term. This coincides with results that are available for non-contaminated observations. We then discuss the selection of the bandwidth parameter when estimating integrated squared density derivatives…
