Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Main themes
Main themes
The topics treated during this course are :
1. Nonparametric estimation of a distribution function
2. Nonparametric estimation of a density function : the kernel method
3. Nonparametric estimation of a regression function :
- kernel estimation
- local polynomial estimation
- spline estimation
The material will essentially be treated from an applied point of view of methodology. The student will study software applications of the proposed methods.
Aims
At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to : | |
| 1 |
Second course of general education in nonparametric statistics, which mainly focuses on smoothing methods. |
