    Abstract

  • Abstract

    The kernel density estimator for widely orthant dependent random variables is studied. The exponential inequalities and the exponential rate for the estimator of a density function with a uniform version over compact sets are investigated. Further, the consistency of the estimator is proved. The results are generalizations of some existing outcomes for both associated and negatively associated samples. The convergence rate of the kernel density estimator is illustrated via a simulation study. Moreover, a real data analysis is presented.

      We investigate the kernel density estimator for widely orthant dependent random variables and obtain the exponential inequalities and the exponential rate for the estimator of density function with a uniform version over compact sets. The consistency of the estimator is also proved.

    Abstract

    The kernel density estimator for widely orthant dependent random variables is studied. The exponential inequalities and the exponential rate for the estimator of a density function with a uniform version over compact sets are investigated. Further, the consistency of the estimator is proved. The results are generalizations of some existing outcomes for both associated and negatively associated samples. The convergence rate of the kernel density estimator is illustrated via a simulation study. Moreover, a real data analysis is presented.

    • Public Summary

    • We consider samples that satisfy the notion of WOD, which is the most general one among the dependent random variables.
    • The obtained results extend and complement the results of Kheyri et al.[14] to a much more general case.
    • Some numerical analysis and a real data analysis are presented to support the theoretical results.
