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 ...

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

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

Counting techniques are widely used to study and monitor terrestrial birds. To assess current applications of counting techniques, we reviewed landbird studies published 1989-1998 in nine major ...
