Abstract

In the case that the probability density function has a discontinuity point, Huh (2002) estimated the location and jump size of the discontinuity point based on the difference between the right and left kernel density estimators using the one-sided kernel function. In this paper, we consider the cross-validation, made by the right and left maximum likelihood cross-validations, for the bandwidth selection in order to estimate the location and jump size of the discontinuity point. This method is motivated by the one-sided cross-validation of Hart and Yi (1998). The finite sample performance is illustrated by simulated example.

Huh (2002)는 확률밀도함수가 하나의 불연속점을 가질 때, 한쪽방향커널함수를 이용하여 확률 밀도함수의 오른쪽과 왼쪽 커널추정량을 제시하여 그 차를 최대로 하는 점을 불연속점의 위치추정량으로 제안하였다. 커널추정량의 평활모수인 띠폭의 선택의 중요함은 익히 알려져 있다. 최대가능도 교차타당성은 확률밀도함수의 커널추정량에서 띠폭 선택의 기준으로 널리 쓰여지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 한쪽방향커널함수를 이용한 확률밀도함수의 오른쪽과 왼쪽 커널추정량들의 띠폭의 선택 방법을 Hart와 Yi (1998)의 한쪽방향교차타당성의 방법론을 최대가능도교차타당성에 적용하여 제안하고자 한다. 소표본 모의실험을 통하여 연구결과를 제시하고자 한다.
