Description
Abstract:A technique for modeling bivariate data that is based on the theory of orthogonal expansions in a separable Hilbert space is examined. A new nonparametric density estimation procedure is developed using an information criterion and is shown to be equivalent to least squares estimation of a density when the criterion function is computed with respect to the empirical distribution function. Computer programs are presented that implement the procedure for the univariate and bivariate cases. Examples utilizing these programs are given and comparisons made to existing density estimation techniques.
