核密度估计的自助法带宽选择AI 解读

A bootstrap-based choice of bandwidth for kernel density estimation is introduced. The method works by estimating the integrated mean squared error (IMSE) for any given bandwidth and then minimizing over all bandwidths. A straightforward application of the bootstrap method to estimate the IMSE fails because it does not capture the bias component. A smoothed bootstrap method based on an initial density estimate is described that solves this problem. It is possible to…

Given a sample from a distribution F supported on a p-dimensional sphere, several confidence cones for the ‘mean directional vector’ are proposed. Some methods have been available, but they depend on parametric assumptions. In this paper, nonparametric confidence cones based on the bootstrap are considered, and consistency of these methods is obtained under minimal conditions. We compare the performances of bootstrap methods with the others by Monte Carlo simulations.
