Sufficient conditions are given under which a generalized class of kernel-type estimators allows asymptotic approximation on the modulus of continuity. This generalized class includes sample distribution function, kernel-type estimator of density function, and an estimator that may apply to the censored case. In addition, an application is given to asymptotic normality of recursive density estimators of density function at an unknown point.

Probability density or its derivatives may have a discontinuity/change point at an unknown location. We propose a method of estimating the location and the jump size of the discontinuity point based on kernel type density or density derivatives estimators with one-sided equivalent kernels. The rates of convergence of the proposed estimators are derived, and the finite-sample performances of the methods are illustrated by simulated examples.

In survival analysis, the Nelson-Aalen estimator and Peterson estimator are often used to estimate a cumulative hazard function in randomly right censored data. In this paper, we suggested the smoothing version of the cumulative hazard function estimators using a Bezier curve. We compare them with the existing estimators including a kernel smooth version of the Nelson-Aalen estimator and the Peterson estimator in the sense of mean integrated square error to show through numerical studies that the proposed estimators are better than existing ones. Further, we applied our method to the Cox regression where covariates are used as predictors and suggested a survival function estimation at a given covariate.

The problem of estimating a smooth distribution function F at a point $\tau$ based on randomly right censored data is treated under certain smoothness conditions on F . The asymptotic performance of a certain class of kernel estimators is compared to that of the Kap lan-Meier estimator of F($\tau$). It is shown that the .elative deficiency of the Kaplan-Meier estimate. of F($\tau$) with respect to the appropriately chosen kernel type estimate. tends to infinity as the sample size n increases to infinity. Strong uniform consistency and the weak convergence of the normalized process are also proved.

The frequency analyses for the precipitation data in Korea were performed. We used daily maximum series, monthly maximum series, and annual series. For nonparametric frequency analyses, variable kernel estimators were used. Nonparametric methods do not require assumptions about the underlying populations from which the data are obtained. Therefore, they are better suited for multimodal distributions with the advantage of not requiring a distributional assumption. In order to compare their performance with parametric distributions, we considered several probability density functions. They are Gamma, Gumbel, Log-normal, Log-Pearson type III, Exponential, Generalized logistic, Generalized Pareto, and Wakeby distributions. The variable kernel estimates are comparable and are in the middle of the range of the parametric estimates. The variable kernel estimates show a very small probability in extrapolation beyond the largest observed data in the sample. However, the log-variable kernel estimates remedied these defects with the log-transformed data.

An algorithm to detect the number of discontinuity points of the variance function in regression model is proposed. The proposed algorithm is based on the left and right one-sided kernel estimators of the second moment function and test statistics of the existence of a discontinuity point coming from the asymptotic distribution of the estimated jump size. The finite sample performance is illustrated by simulated example.

Let P be a probability measure on the real line with Lebesque-density f. The usual estimator of the distribution function (≡df) of P for the sample $\chi$$_1$,…, $\chi$$\_$n/ is the empirical df: F$\_$n/(t)=(equation omitted). But this estimator does not take into account the smoothness of F, that is, the existence of a density f. Therefore, one should expect that an estimator which is better adapted to this situation beats the empirical df with respect to a reasonable measure of performance.(omitted)

분산함수가 불연속인 경우 Kang과 Huh (2006)는 잔차제곱을 이용한 Nadaraya-Watson 추정량으로 분산함수를 추정하였다. 음의 실수 값도 가질 수 있는 로그분산함수를 추정 대상으로 하여, 오차제곱의 분포를 ${\chi}^2$-분포로 가정하고 국소선형적합을 이용한 불연속 로그분산함수의 추정이 Huh(2013)에 의해 연구되었다. Chen 등 (2009)은 연속인 로그분산함수를 로그잔차제곱을 이용한 국소선형적합으로 추정하였다. 본 연구는 Chen 등의 추정법을 이용하여 불연속인 로그분산함수의 추정량을 제시하였다. 기존의 제안된 불연속인 로그분산함수의 추정량들과 제안된 추정량을 모의실험을 통하여 비교연구하고자 한다. 한편, 로그분산함수가 연속이지만 그 미분된 함수가 불연속일 경우, Huh (2013)의 방법과 제안된 방법으로 적합된 국소선형의 기울기를 이용하여 불연속인 미분된 로그 분산함수의 추정량을 제시하고자 한다. 이들 추정량의 비교 연구 또한 모의실험을 통하여 제시하고자 한다.
