Lecture

Nonparametric Statistics: Estimation and Optimization

Description

This lecture covers nonparametric statistics, focusing on estimating the distribution without assuming a parametric form. Topics include empirical distribution functions, consistency without assumptions, kernel density estimators, bandwidth selection, and the bias-variance tradeoff. The instructor discusses the plug-in principle, optimal bandwidth selection, and the asymptotic risk of kernel density estimators.
