Abstract

In this paper, a new univariate and bivariate kernel density estimators using the Wigner semicircle distribution are introduced. The asymptotic bias; variance; mean squared error (MSE), integrated mean squared error (IMSE), and the optimal smoothing parameter are derived for both the univariate and bivariate cases. A simulation study is introduced to compare the performance of the proposed estimators with parametric distributions and other nonparametric estimators. Finally, a real data application of the measurements of differential scanning calorimetry is analyzed.
