We propose the periodic scaled Korobov kernel (PSKK) method for nonparametric density estimation on $\mathbb{R}^d$. By first wrapping the target density into a periodic version through modulo operation and subsequently applying kernel ridge…

A fundamental task in kernel methods is to pick nodes and weights, so as to approximate a given function from an RKHS by the weighted sum of kernel translates located at the nodes. This is the crux of kernel density estimation, kernel…

This paper deals with the kernel density estimator based on the so-called sinc (or Fourier integral) kernel $K(x)=(\pi x)^{-1}\sin x$. We study in detail both asymptotic and finite sample properties of this estimator. It is shown that,…

There is an intense and partly recent literature focussing on the problem of selecting the bandwidth parameter for kernel density estimators. Available methods are largely `very nonparametric', in the sense of not requiring any knowledge…

The aim of this article is to propose a novel kernel estimator of the baseline function in a general high-dimensional Cox model, for which we derive non-asymptotic rates of convergence. To construct our estimator, we first estimate the…

The histogram estimator of a discrete probability mass function often exhibits undesirable properties related to zero probability estimation both within the observed range of counts and outside into the tails of the distribution. To…

Practical applications of kernel methods often use variable bandwidth kernels, also known as self-tuning kernels, however much of the current theory of kernel based techniques is only applicable to fixed bandwidth kernels. In this paper, we…
