Kernel entropy estimation for linear processes

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let Xn:ninmathbbN be a linear process with bounded probability density function f(x). We study the estimation of the quadratic functional intmathbbRf2(x),dx. With a Fourier transform on the kernel function and the projection method, it is shown that, under certain mild conditions, the estimator [ frac{2}{n(n-1)h_n} sum_{1le i<jle n}Kleft(frac{X_i-X_j}{h_n} ight) ] has similar asymptotical properties as the i.i.d. case studied in Gin'{e} and Nickl (2008) if the linear process Xn:ninmathbbN has the defined short range dependence. We also provide an application to L22 divergence and the extension to multivariate linear processes. The simulation study for linear processes with Gaussian and alpha-stable innovations confirms our theoretical results. As an illustration, we estimate the L22 divergences among the density functions of average annual river flows for four rivers and obtain promising results.
