Bandwidth selection for kernel conditional density estimation
TL;DR: In this article, several bandwidth selection methods are derived ranging from fast rules-of-thumb which assume the underlying densities are known to relatively slow procedures which use the bootstrap, and a practical bandwidth selection strategy which combines the methods is proposed.

Estimation of conditional densities and sensitivity measures in nonlinear dynamical systems
TL;DR: Two measures of sensitivity to initial conditions in nonlinear stochastic dynamic systems are proposed, one of which relates Fisher information with initial-value sensitivity in dynamical systems and a simple method for choosing the bandwidth is proposed.

Using Conditional Kernel Density Estimation for Wind Power Density Forecasting
Jooyoung Jeon,James Taylor +1 more
TL;DR: This work develops an approach to producing density forecasts for the wind power generated at individual wind farms using a VARMA-GARCH model and conditional kernel density estimation, which enables a nonparametric modeling of the conditional density of wind power.
Forecasting Uncertainty in Electricity Smart Meter Data by Boosting Additive Quantile Regression
TL;DR: The empirical results demonstrate that the approachbased on quantile regression provides better forecast accuracy for disaggregated demand, while the traditional approach based on a normality assumption is a better approximation for aggregated demand.

Jianqing Fan,Tsz Ho Yim +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the idea of cross-validation to choose the smoothing parameters of the double-kernel local linear regression for estimating a conditional density, which optimises the estimated conditional density function by minimising the integrated squared error.
