Contents
The course builds on STA-2002 Theoretical Statistics. Density estimation and regression is studied without parametric model assumptions. Kernel estimation is thoroughly discussed.
Analysis of "the smoothing problem" and smoothing parameters based on data. The estimators are studied asymptotically, exact and by simulation techniques. The estimation techniques are very useful in applications, examples are presented from image analysis and spectral density estimation. At the end of the course "scale-space" techniques are introduced.
