Estimation of the value of a density function at a point of continuity using a kernel-type estimator is discussed and improvements of the technique are presented. The generalized jackknife method is ...

In the nonparametric setup, smooth density estimators are obtained by using a kernel function and it is used to account for contribution of each observation to the estimator. Generally, these kernel ...

Bernstein polynomial estimation provides a robust nonparametric technique for approximating both density and distribution functions. Based on the properties of Bernstein polynomials, which uniformly ...
