Bernstein polynomial estimation provides a robust nonparametric technique for approximating both density and distribution functions. Based on the properties of Bernstein polynomials, which uniformly ...
We study nonparametric maximum likelihood estimation of a log-concave probability density and its distribution and hazard function. Some general properties of these estimators are derived from two ...
