Kernel density estimation (KDE) and nonparametric methods form a cornerstone of contemporary statistical analysis. Unlike parametric approaches that assume a specific functional form for the ...
The KDE procedure performs either univariate or bivariate kernel density estimation. Statistical density estimation involves approximating a hypothesized probability density function from observed ...

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. Series C (Applied Statistics), Vol. 45, No. 2 (1996), pp. 135-150 (16 pages) Motivated by the line transect aerial surveys of Southern Bluefin Tuna in the sea ...
Nonparametric methods provide a flexible framework for estimating the probability density function of random variables without imposing a strict parametric model. By relying directly on observed data, ...
Refer to Silverman (1986) or Scott (1992) for an introduction to nonparametric density estimation. PROC MODECLUS uses (hyper)spherical uniform kernels of fixed or variable radius. The density estimate ...
