Nonparametric estimation for probability mass function with Disake: an R package for discrete associated kernel estimators

Abstract

Kernel smoothing is one of the most widely used nonparametric data smoothing techniques. We introduce a new R package, Disake, for computing discrete associated kernel estimators for probability mass function. When working with a kernel estimator, two choices must be made: the kernel function and the smoothing parameter. The Disake package focuses on discrete associated kernels and also on cross-validation and local Bayesian techniques to select the appropriate bandwidth. Applications on simulated data and real data show that the binomial kernel is appropriate for small or moderate count data while the empirical estimator or the discrete triangular kernel is indicated for large samples.
