abstract

  • This paper is focused on two kernel relative density estimators in a two-sample problem. An asymptotic expression for the mean integrated squared error of these estimators is found and, based on it, two solve- the-equation plug-in bandwidth selectors are proposed. In order to examine their practical performance a simulation study and a practical application to a medical dataset are carried out.
