In this paper, we study a method to sample from a target distribution $\pi$ over $\mathbb{R}^d$ having a positive density with respect to the Lebesgue measure, known up to a normalisation factor. This method is based on the Euler…

We introduce a new deal of kernel density estimation using an exponentiated form of kernel density estimators. The density estimator has two hyperparameters flexibly controlling the smoothness of the resulting density. We tune them in a…

In this paper we study predictive mean matching mass imputation estimators to integrate data from probability and non-probability samples. We consider two approaches: matching predicted to predicted ($\hat{y}-\hat{y}$~matching; PMM A) and…
