Abstract

We construct a kernel density estimator on symmetric spaces of non-compact type and establish an upper bound for its convergence rate, analogous to the minimax rate for classical kernel density estimators on Euclidean space. Symmetric spaces of non-compact type include hyperboloids of constant negative curvature and spaces of symmetric positive definite matrices. This paper obtains a simplified formula in the special case when the symmetric space is the space of normal distributions, a 2-dimensional hyperboloid.
