"Bandwidth Selection for Nonparametric Distribution Estimation"
May 2004
Abstract:
The mean-square efficiency of cumulative distribution function estimation
can be improved through kernel smoothing. We propose a plug-in bandwidth
rule, which minimizes an estimate of the asymptotic mean integrated squared
error.
