Abstract:

The view is expressed that the best way to evaluate the approach of Good and Gaskins is to compare it with alternative approaches to density estimation currently available. As a contribution towards this comparative study, this paper describes an analysis of their data using the density-quantile estimation approach proposed by Parzen 1979. Author
