  2. Variable kernel density estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_kernel_density...

    In a balloon estimator, the kernel width is varied depending on the location of the test point. In a pointwise estimator, the kernel width is varied depending on the location of the sample. [1] For multivariate estimators, the parameter, h, can be generalized to vary not just the size, but also the shape of the kernel. This more complicated ...

  3. Determining the number of clusters in a data set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determining_the_number_of...

    The average silhouette of the data is another useful criterion for assessing the natural number of clusters. The silhouette of a data instance is a measure of how closely it is matched to data within its cluster and how loosely it is matched to data of the neighboring cluster, i.e., the cluster whose average distance from the datum is lowest. [8]

    Estimate the cardinality of as /, where . The idea is that if n {\displaystyle n} is the number of distinct elements in the multiset M {\displaystyle M} , then B I T M A P [ 0 ] {\displaystyle \mathrm {BITMAP} [0]} is accessed approximately n / 2 {\displaystyle n/2} times, B I T M A P [ 1 ] {\displaystyle \mathrm {BITMAP} [1]} is accessed ...

  5. Kernel density estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_density_estimation

    Kernel density estimation of 100 normally distributed random numbers using different smoothing bandwidths.. In statistics, kernel density estimation (KDE) is the application of kernel smoothing for probability density estimation, i.e., a non-parametric method to estimate the probability density function of a random variable based on kernels as weights.

  6. Density estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_Estimation

    Centered on each sample, a Gaussian kernel is drawn in gray. Averaging the Gaussians yields the density estimate shown in the dashed black curve. In statistics, probability density estimation or simply density estimation is the construction of an estimate, based on observed data, of an unobservable underlying probability density function. The ...

  7. Ratio estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ratio_estimator

    where n is the size of the sample and the r i are estimated with the omission of one pair of variates at a time. [10] An alternative method is to divide the sample into g groups each of size p with n = pg. [11] Let r i be the estimate of the i th group. Then the estimator

  8. Kernel regression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_regression

    In statistics, kernel regression is a non-parametric technique to estimate the conditional expectation of a random variable.The objective is to find a non-linear relation between a pair of random variables X and Y.

  9. Estimation of covariance matrices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimation_of_covariance...

    The sample covariance matrix (SCM) is an unbiased and efficient estimator of the covariance matrix if the space of covariance matrices is viewed as an extrinsic convex cone in R p×p; however, measured using the intrinsic geometry of positive-definite matrices, the SCM is a biased and inefficient estimator.
