Multivariate Density Estimation and Visualization [PDF]
This chapter examines the use of flexible methods to approximate an unknown density function, and techniques appropriate for visualization of densities in up to four dimensions. The statistical analysis of data is a multilayered endeavor. Data must be carefully examined and cleaned to avoid spurious findings.

LogConcDEAD: An R Package for Maximum Likelihood Estimation of a Multivariate Log-Concave Density [PDF]
In this article we introduce the R package LogConcDEAD (Log-concave density estimation in arbitrary dimensions). Its main function is to compute the nonparametric maximum likelihood estimator of a log-concave density.

Model-based Methods of Classification: Using the mclust Software in Chemometrics [PDF]
Due to recent advances in methods and software for model-based clustering, and to the interpretability of the results, clustering procedures based on probability models are increasingly preferred over heuristic methods. The clustering process estimates a

An Improved Model for Kernel Density Estimation Based on Quadtree and Quasi-Interpolation
There are three main problems for classical kernel density estimation in its application: boundary problem, over-smoothing problem of high (low)-density region and low-efficiency problem of large samples.

Fast multivariate log-concave density estimation [PDF]
A novel computational approach to log-concave density estimation is proposed. Previous approaches utilize the piecewise-affine parametrization of the density induced by the given sample set. The number of parameters as well as non-smooth subgradient-based convex optimization for determining the maximum likelihood density estimate cause long runtimes ...

Kernel Density Derivative Estimation of Euler Solutions
Conventional Euler deconvolution is widely used for interpreting profile, grid, and ungridded potential field data. The Tensor Euler deconvolution applies additional constraints to the Euler solution using all gravity vectors and the full gravity ...

Generating VaR Scenarios under Solvency II with Product Beta Distributions
We propose a Monte Carlo simulation method to generate stress tests by VaR scenarios under Solvency II for dependent risks on the basis of observed data. This is of particular interest for the construction of Internal Models.
