Limitations Of Richardson Extrapolation For Kernel Density Estimation

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This paper develops the process of using Richardson Extrapolation to improve the Kernel Density Estimation method, resulting in a more accurate (lower Mean Squared Error) estimate of a probability density function for a distribution of data in Rd given a set of data from the distribution. The method of Richardson Extrapolation is explained, showing how to fix conditioning issues that arise with higher-order extrapolations. Then, it is shown why higher-order estimators do not always provide the best estimate, and it is discussed how to choose the optimal order of the estimate. It is shown that given n one-dimensional data points, it is possible to estimate the probability density function with a mean squared error value on the order of only n−1sqrtln(n). Finally, this paper introduces a possible direction of future research that could further minimize the mean squared error.
