Using conditional kernel density estimation for wind power density forecasting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Of the various renewable energy resources, wind power is widely recognized as one of the most promising. The management of wind farms and electricity systems can benefit greatly from the availability of estimates of the probability distribution of wind ...

An assessment of sampling designs using SCR analyses to estimate abundance of boreal caribou

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Accurately estimating abundance is a critical component of monitoring and recovery of rare and elusive species. Spatial capture–recapture (SCR) models are an increasingly popular method for robust estimation of ecological parameters.

Density Estimation for RWRE [PDF]

open access: yesMathematical Methods of Statistics, 2019
We consider the problem of non-parametric density estimation of a random environment from the observation of a single trajectory of a random walk in this environment. We first construct a density estimator using the beta-moments. We then show that the Goldenshluger-Lepski method can be used to select the beta-moment.

Estimation of Bouguer Density Precision: Development of Method for Analysis of La Soufriere Volcano Gravity Data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Http://dx.doi.org/10.17014/ijog.vol3no3.20084The precision of topographic density (Bouguer density) estimation by the Nettleton approach is based on a minimum correlation of Bouguer gravity anomaly and topography. The other method, the Parasnis approach,

msBP: An R Package to Perform Bayesian Nonparametric Inference Using Multiscale Bernstein Polynomials Mixtures

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software, 2017
msBP is an R package that implements a new method to perform Bayesian multiscale nonparametric inference introduced by Canale and Dunson (2016). The method, based on mixtures of multiscale beta dictionary densities, overcomes the drawbacks of Pólya trees

Self-consistent method for density estimation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The estimation of a density profile from experimental data points is a challenging problem, usually tackled by plotting a histogram. Prior assumptions on the nature of the density, from its smoothness to the specification of its form, allow the design of

Bagging of density estimators [PDF]

open access: yesComputational Statistics, 2019
In this work we give new density estimators by averaging classical density estimators such as the histogram, the frequency polygon and the kernel density estimators obtained over different bootstrap samples of the original data. We prove the L 2-consistency of these new estimators and compare them to several similar approaches by extensive simulations.

Evaluating the Use of Drones Equipped with Thermal Sensors as an Effective Method for Estimating Wildlife

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2020
Drones equipped with thermal sensors have shown ability to overcome some of the limitations often associated with traditional human‐occupied aerial surveys (e.g., low detection, high operational cost, human safety risk).

Quasi-concave density estimation

open access: yes, 2010
Maximum likelihood estimation of a log-concave probability density is formulated as a convex optimization problem and shown to have an equivalent dual formulation as a constrained maximum Shannon entropy problem.
