Nonparametric estimation of a polarization measure
Anderson, Gordon; Linton, Oliver; Whang, Yoon-Jae - 2009
This paper develops methodology for nonparametric estimation of a polarization measure due to Anderson (2004) and Anderson, Ge, and Leo (2006) based on kernel estimation techniques. We give the asymptotic distribution theory of our estimator, which in some cases is nonstandard due to a boundary...
