Nonparametric Probability Density Estimation by Discrete Maximum Penalized- Likelihood Criteria
基于离散最大惩罚似然准则的非参数密度估计
A nonparametric probability density estimator is proposed that is optimal with respect to a discretized form of a continuous penalized-likelihood criterion functional. Approximation results relating the discrete estimator to the estimate obtained by solving the corresponding infinite-dimensional problem are presented. The discrete estimator is shown to be consistent. The numerical implementation of this discrete estimator is outlined and examples displayed. A simulation…
