Density estimation is a fundamental component in statistical analysis, aiming to infer the probability distribution of a random variable from a finite sample without imposing restrictive parametric ...
Likelihood cross-validation for kernel density estimation is known to be sensitive to extreme observations and heavy-tailed distributions. We propose a robust likelihood-based cross-validation method ...
Backwardness is the result of different factors that exist in a society. The present study focused on infrastructural facilities and basic amenities to estimate the spatial distribution of backward ...
