Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes

This course aims at introducing nonparametric techniques in statistical analysis and the use of these techniques in a variety of disciplines. The course will focus on the so-called smoothing procedures for curve estimation. Students taking this course will develop an appreciation of nonparametric statistics and will be able to:

  • understand the concept and scope of nonparametric techniques,
  • explain the fundamental principles of smoothing and nonparametric curve estimation,
  • estimate functions of interest without strong parametric assumptions,
  • test hypotheses about these functions and construct confidence regions,
  • use in practice the modern nonparametric techniques to answer concrete questions about real data sets,
  • use the R software to generate output in regard to the previous point and for computing intensive methods such as the bootstrap.
General Competences
  • Working independently
  • Decision-making
  • Production of free, creative and inductive thinking
  • Criticism and self-criticism

Syllabus

Presentation and Introduction to nonparametric methods. Nonparametric estimation of the probability density function (p.d.f.) by histogram and by kernel density estimation. Asymptotic properties of the derived estimates. Non parametric estimation of the cumulative distribution function (e.c.d.f.) with the empirical c.d.f., kernel smoothing and properties of the derived estimatres. Methods and techniques for bandwidth selection. Improvements of kernel estimates: elimination of boundary bias, variable bandwidth kernel estimates and transformation-based estimates. Nonparametric regression: the Nadaraya-Watson estimate and the local polynomial estimate. Multivariate kernel estimation and special topics.
