Allthough nonparametric kernel density estimation with bias reduce is nowadays a standard technique in explorative data-analysis, there is still a big dispute on how to assess the quality of the estimate and which choice of bandwidth is…
The one-sided and full Hilbert transforms are evaluated exactly by means of the method of finite-part integration [E.A. Galapon, \textit{Proc. Roy. Soc. A} \textbf{473}, 20160567 (2017)]. In general, the result consists of two terms -- the…
