We consider the Parzen-Rosenblatt kernel density estimate on Rd with data-dependent smoothing factor. Sufficient conditions on the asymptotic behavior of the smoothing factor are given under which the ...

We prove strong consistency of a class of maximum objective estimators for exponential parametric families of Markov random fields on Z d, including both maximum likelihood and pseudolikelihood ...

Developing accurate, thorough and defendable cost estimates on a consistent basis is an arduous and – sometimes – imposing undertaking. Every project estimate can take on a life of its own, with ...
