Closeness of 2-parametric discrete distributions when first 2 moments are matching

Let $\mathcal{D}$ be a particular 2-parameter uni-variate discrete distribution family, and let $D(\theta_1, \theta_2) \in \mathcal{D}$ be one particular distribution from this family, where $\theta_i …

What are some of the common techniques for density estimation?

If you care for techniques with strong theoretical guarantees on sample complexity for arbitrarily low error as well as run-time, you could check out this work by Chan et al. This paper presents an al …

Literature on nonparametric density estimation

Density estimation is obviously a vastly studied topic. If you care for results in density estimation with provable guarantees on sample complexity and time of computation, while having approximation …
