Modified Local Density Estimation for the Log-Linear Density

  • Published : 2000.04.01

Abstract

We consider local likelihood method with a smoothed version of the model density in stead of an original model density. For simplicity a model is assumed as the log-linear density then we were able to show that the proposed local density estimator is less affected by changes among observations but its bias increases little bit more than that of the currently used local density estimator. Hence if we use the existing method and the proposed method in a proper way we would derive the local density estimator fitting the data in a better way.
