Presents descriptive statistics, sophisticated counting techniques and other components of probability, simple random variables and their distribution, bivariate functions, sampling theory properties ...

An attractive feature of these methods is that the rate of convergence is unaffected by the presence of discontinuities in the function being estimated. We provide structure and mean-square analyses ...

Nonparametric methods provide a flexible framework for estimating the probability density function of random variables without imposing a strict parametric model.

We consider estimation in a particular semiparametric regression model for the mean of a counting process with "panel count" data.
