Self-tuning density estimation based on Bayesian averaging of adaptive kernel density estimations yields state-of-the-art performance

作者:

Highlights:

• A new method called ADEBA for multivariate adaptive density estimation is presented.

• A simulation study shows that ADEAB is competitve to currently dominating methods.

• ADEBA is simple and computes much faster than Gaussian mixture modeling.

• Further improvements can be made by incorporating application-specific prior knowledge into ADEBA.

• Implementations of ADEBA are publicly available for R.
