Abstract:
This paper handles non-parametric estimation of a conditional cumulative distribution function (CCDF). Using a recursive approach, we set forward a multivariate recursive estimator defifined by stochastic approximation algorithm. Our basic objective is to investigate the statistical inference of our estimator and compare it with that of non-recursive Nadaraya-Watson’s estimator. From this perspective, we fifirst derive the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator which highly depend on the choice of two parameters, the stepsize (γn) as well as the bandwidth (hn). The second generation plug-in method, a method of bandwidth selection minimizing the Mean Weighted Integrated Squared Error (MW ISE) of the estimator in reference, entails the optimal choice of the bandwidth and therefore maintains an appropriate choice of the stepsize parameter. Basically, we demonstrate that, under some conditions, the Mean Squared Error (MSE) of the proposed estimator can be smaller than the one of Nadaraya Watson’s estimator. We corroborate our theoretical results through simulation studies and two real dataset applications, namely the Insurance Company Benchmark (COIL 2000) dataset as well as the French Hospital Data of COVID-19 epidemic.
