Bandwidth selection in kernel density estimation is one of the fundamental model selection problems of mathematical statistics. The study of this problem took major steps forward with the articles of ...

The application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in analysing traffic accident hotspots has markedly advanced the understanding of road safety challenges. By integrating spatial analysis ...

Kernel density estimates, as commonly applied, generally have no exact model-based interpretation since they violate conditions that define coherent joint distributions. The issue of marginalization ...
