Kernel Smoothing in Matlab : World Scientific Publishing : 9789814405485 : 9814405485 : 28 Sep 2012 : "Methods of kernel estimates represent one of the most effective nonparametric smoothing techniques. These methods are simple to understand and they possess very good statistical properties. This book provides a concise and comprehensive overview of statistical theory and in addition, emphasis is given to the implementation of presented methods in Matlab. All created programs are included in a special toolbox which is an integral part of the book. This toolbox contains many Matlab scripts useful for kernel smoothing of density, cumulative distribution function, regression function, hazard function, indices of quality and bivariate density. Specifically, methods for choosing a choice of the optimal bandwidth and a special procedure for simultaneous choiceof the bandwidth, the kernel and its order are implemented. The toolbox is divided into six parts according to the chapters of the boo
