JSM 2004 Online Program

Abstract #301044

This is the preliminary program for the 2004 Joint Statistical Meetings in Toronto, Canada. Currently included in this program is the "technical" program, schedule of invited, topic contributed, regular contributed and poster sessions; Continuing Education courses (August 7-10, 2004); and Committee and Business Meetings. This on-line program will be updated frequently to reflect the most current revisions.

Abstract:	We investigate the sufficient condition for the interpolated kernel density estimate (IKDE) to be a probability density. Under the condition, the appropriate class of the kernel functions and the ratio of grid distance versus smoothing parameter can be easily derived. The asymptotic integrated mean squared error properties of IKDE in this class are also studied. We finally show that the optimal IKDE can be obtained if the kernel functions are the finite-degree polynomials of absolute-valued variables with a specified ratio.
