On Polynomial Estimators of Frontiers and Boundaries
Hall, Peter; Park, Byeong U.; Stern, Steven E. - In: Journal of Multivariate Analysis 66 (1998) 1, pp. 71-98
Motivated by problems of frontier estimation in productivity analysis, and boundary estimation in scatter-point image analysis, we consider polynomial-based estimators of the edge of a distribution. Our aim is to develop methods for correcting polynomial-type estimators of bias, and for...
