Bias Adjustment for a Nonparametric Entropy Estimator

open access: yesEntropy, 2013
Zhang in 2012 introduced a nonparametric estimator of Shannon’s entropy, whose bias decays exponentially fast when the alphabet is finite. We propose a methodology to estimate the bias of this estimator.

Semi-parametric regression: Efficiency gains from modeling the nonparametric part

open access: yes, 2011
It is widely admitted that structured nonparametric modeling that circumvents the curse of dimensionality is important in nonparametric estimation. In this paper we show that the same holds for semi-parametric estimation.

Asymptotic equivalence and adaptive estimation for robust nonparametric regression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Asymptotic equivalence theory developed in the literature so far are only for bounded loss functions. This limits the potential applications of the theory because many commonly used loss functions in statistical inference are unbounded.

On Nonparametric Estimation of Covariogram

open access: yesAustrian Journal of Statistics
The paper overviews and investigates several nonparametric methods of estimating covariograms. It provides a unified approach and notation to compare the main approaches used in applied research.

Nonparametric Regression Estimation for Circular Data

open access: yesProceedings, 2019
Non-parametric regression with a circular response variable and a unidimensional linear regressor is a topic which was discussed in the literature.

Nonparametric estimation of composite functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We study the problem of nonparametric estimation of a multivariate function $g:\mathbb {R}^d\to\mathbb{R}$ that can be represented as a composition of two unknown smooth functions $f:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ and $G:\mathbb{R}^d\to \mathbb{R}$. We suppose

Nonparametric Copula Density Estimation Methodologies

open access: yesMathematics
This paper proposes several methodologies whose objective consists of securing copula density estimates. More specifically, this aim will be achieved by differentiating bivariate least-squares polynomials fitted to Deheuvels’ empirical copulas, by making

Gini estimation under infinite variance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
We study the problems related to the estimation of the Gini index in presence of a fat-tailed data generating process, i.e. one in the stable distribution class with finite mean but infinite variance (i.e. with tail index $\alpha\in(1,2)$). We show that,
