Kernels for Nonparametric Curve Estimation
非参数曲线估计的核函数
SUMMARY The choice of kernels for the nonparametric estimation of regression functions and of their derivatives is investigated. Explicit expressions are obtained for kernels minimizing the asymptotic variance or the asymptotic integrated mean square error, IMSE (the present proof of the optimality of the latter kernels is restricted up to order k = 5). These kernels are also of interest for the nonparametric estimation of probability densities and spectral densities. A…
