To address the difficult problem of the multi-step-ahead prediction of nonparametric autoregressions, we consider a forward bootstrap approach. Employing a local constant estimator, we can analyze a general type of nonparametric time-series model and ...

Bayesian nonparametric subspace estimation [PDF]
Principal component analysis is a widely used technique to perform dimension reduction. However, selecting a finite number of significant components is essential and remains a crucial issue. Only few attempts have proposed a probabilistic approach to adaptively select this number. This paper introduces a Bayesian nonparametric model to jointly estimate

Estimation and Inference for Spatio-Temporal Single-Index Models
To better fit the actual data, this paper will consider both spatio-temporal correlation and heterogeneity to build the model. In order to overcome the “curse of dimensionality” problem in the nonparametric method, we improve the estimation method of the

Nonparametric Range-Based Double Smoothing Spot Volatility Estimation for Diffusion Models
We consider nonparametric spot volatility estimation for diffusion models with discrete high frequency observations. Our estimator is carried out in two steps.

Finite-Sample Bounds on the Accuracy of Plug-In Estimators of Fisher Information
Finite-sample bounds on the accuracy of Bhattacharya’s plug-in estimator for Fisher information are derived. These bounds are further improved by introducing a clipping step that allows for better control over the score function.

At the heart of many ICA techniques is a nonparametric estimate of an information measure, usually via nonparametric density estimation, for example, kernel density estimation.

Adaptive Reduction of Curse of Dimensionality in Nonparametric Instrumental Variable Estimation
Nonparametric estimation of instrumental variable treatment effects typically builds on various nonparametric identification results. However, these estimators often face challenges from the curse of dimensionality in practice, as multi-dimensional ...

In today’s increasingly serious world energy crisis, Renewable energy such as wind energy has gradually penetrated into life. Aiming at the uncertainty of wind power and the need of a mass of sample data in nonparametric kernel density estimation, a wind

Semi-Nonparametric Maximum Likelihood Estimation [PDF]
The density of Hermite forms: \[ h(u)=P^ 2_ k(u-\tau)\Phi^ 2(u| \tau,diag(\gamma)) \] where \(P_ k\) is a polynomial of degree K and \(\Phi\) is the density function of the multivariate normal distribution is shown to be capable of approximating any density arbitrarily closely subject to minimal qualifications relating to compactness, denseness ...
