Kernel density estimation is a prevalent technique employed for nonparametric density estimation, enabling direct estimation from the data itself. This estimation involves two crucial elements: selection of the kernel function and the determination of the appropriate bandwidth. The selection of the bandwidth plays an important role in kernel density estimation, which has been developed over the past decade. A range of methods is available for selecting the bandwidth, including the plug-in bandwidth. In this article, the proposed plug-in bandwidth is introduced, which leverages shifted Chebyshev series-based approximation to determine the optimal bandwidth. Through a simulation study, the performance of the suggested bandwidth is analyzed to reveal its favorable performance across a wide range of distributions and sample sizes compared to alternative bandwidths. The proposed bandwidth is also applied for kernel density estimation on real dataset. The outcomes obtained from the proposed bandwidth indicate a favorable selection. Hence, this article serves as motivation to explore additional plug-in bandwidths that rely on function approximations utilizing alternative series expansions.

Considerable progress on the problem of data-driven bandwidth selection in kernel density estimation has been made recently. The goal of this paper is to provide an introduction to the methods currently available, with discussion at both a practical and a nontechnical theoretical level. The main setting considered here is global bandwidth kernel estimation, but some recent results on variable bandwidth kernel estimation are also included.

Kernel estimates of an unknown regression function are studied. Bandwidth selection rule minimizing integrated absolute error loss function is considered. Under some reasonable assumptions, it is shown that the optimal bandwidth is unique and can be computed by using bisection algorithm. Adaptive bandwidth selection rule is proposed.

In recent years, nonparametric kernel estimation of regresion function are abundant and widely applicable to many areas of statistics. Most of modern researches concerned with the fixed global bandwidth selection which can be used in the estimation of regression function with all the same value for all x. In this paper, we propose a method for selecting locally varing bandwidth based on bootstrap method in kernel estimation of fixed design regression. Performance of proposed bandwidth selection method for finite sample case is conducted via Monte Carlo simulation study.

Nonparametric kernel regression has recently gained widespread acceptance as an attractive method for the nonparametric estimation of the mean function from noisy regression data. Also, the practical implementation of kernel method is enhanced by the availability of reliable rule for automatic selection of the bandwidth. In this article, we propose a method for automatic selection of the bandwidth that minimizes the asymptotic mean square error. Then, the estimated bandwidth by the proposed method is compared with the theoretical optimal bandwidth and a bandwidth by plug-in method. Simulation study is performed and shows satisfactory behavior of the proposed method.

In recent years, kernel type estimates are abundant. In this paper, we propose a bandwidth selection method for kernel regression of fixed design based on bootstrap procedure. Mathematical properties of proposed bootstrap-based bandwidth selection method are discussed. Performance of the proposed method for small sample case is compared with that of cross-validation method via a simulation study.

We consider the problem of optimal bandwidth choice for nonparametric classification, based on kernel density estimators, where the problem of interest is distinguishing between two univariate distributions. When the densities intersect at a single point, optimal bandwidth choice depends on curvatures of the densities at that point. The problem of empirical bandwidth selection and classifying data in the tails of a distribution are also addressed.

Suppose we have a set of data X1, ···, Xn and employ kernel density estimator to estimate the marginal density of X. in this article bandwith selection problem for kernel density estimator is examined closely. In particular the Kullback-Leibler method (a bandwith selection methods based on average square error (ASE)) is considered.

커널형 회귀함수의 추정법 중에서 국소 다항회귀 추정법이 가장 우수한 것으로 알려져 있다. 국소다항회귀 추정법에서도 다른 종류의 커널추정량과 마찬가지로 평활량이 중요한 역할을 한다. 특히 회귀함수가 복잡한 구조를 가질 때 변수평활량(variable band-width)을 사용하는 것이 타당할 것이다. 본 연구에서는 완전자료기저(fully automatic, fully data-driven) 변수평활량 선택법을 제안한다. 이 선택법은 편향과 분산의 예비추정에 필요한 평활량을 교차타당성 방법으로 선택하여 MSE를 추정하고 그 값을 최소화하는 평활량을 택하는 것이다. 제안된 방법의 우수성을 모의실험을 통하여 확인하였다. 그리고 제안된 방법은 자료점이 성긴(sparse)부분에서 생길 수 있는 문제점 즉 X'X의 비정칙성(non-singularity)을 해결할 수 있는 방법이라는 데에도 큰 의미가 있다.

비매개변수적 빈도해석을 위해 제시되는 핵밀도함수 방법에서 내삽법은 외삽법보다 더 신뢰적이기 때문에 내삽법과 관련된 광역폭의 선택이 외삽 문제와 연관되는 핵함수의 선택보다 중요하다. 그러나, 재현기간이 자료구간보다 커지거나 또는 $200{\sim}500$년 빈도 발생과 같은 확률 값에 대한 추정을 하는 경우는 자료의 외삽이 중요한 문제이며 따라서 이에 따른 핵함수의 선택도 중요시된다. 핵함수에 따라서는 외삽에 대해 상대적으로 작거나 큰 값이 제시 될 수 있으므로 극치값 추정에는 어려운 점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 일반적으로 내삽 및 외삽에도 적합한 핵함수로 Modified Cauchy 핵함수를 제시하였다.
