Efficient R-estimation of principal and common principal components
We propose rank-based estimators of principal components, both in the one-sample and, under the assumption of common principal …

Fourier methods for smooth distribution function estimation
The limit behavior of the optimal bandwidth sequence for the kernel distribution function estimator is analyzed, in its greatest …

Local powers of optimal one-sample and multi-sample tests for the concentration of Fisher-von Mises-Langevin distributions
One-sample and multi-sample tests on the concentration parameter of Fisher-von Mises-Langevin distributions on (hyper-) spheres have …

Simple optimal tests for circular reflective symmetry about a specified median direction
In this paper we propose optimal tests for circular reflective symmetry about a fixed median direction. The distributions against which …

Spatial depth-based classification with functional data
We enlarge the number of available functional depths by introducing the kernelized functional spatial depth (KFSD). KFSD is a …

Data-based choice of the number of pilot stages for plug-in bandwidth selection
The choice of the bandwidth is a crucial issue for kernel density estimation. Among all the data-dependent methods for choosing the …
