Kernel density estimation on polyspherical data
A. Meilán-Vila, E. García Portugués
Polyspherical data refer to observations on S^d_1 × … × S^d_r, d_1,…,d_r ≥ 1, where S^d denotes the hypersphere of dimension d ≥ 1. The polysphere comprises the circle (r=d_1=1), sphere (r=1, d_1=2), and torus (d_1=… =d_r=1), as particular cases. The goal of this work is to propose and study a kernel density estimator for this type of data. Using a tailored tangent-normal decomposition, the main asymptotic properties of the estimator, such as bias, variance, pointwise normality, and optimal bandwidth, are obtained. Some guidelines, based on cross-validation and plug-in methods, to select the asymptotically optimal bandwidth parameter are also provided in practice. Moreover, the kernel efficiency with respect to a certain "Epanechnikov" kernel is studied. A simulation study and an application of the methodology to the hippocampus via s-reps on the polysphere (S^d_1)^{168} complete this work.

Visit Alhambra
Tomorrow, Thursday, we will visit the Alhambra. 1. At 7:00 p.m., buses will start leaving from the door of the Hotel Granada Center (in front of the door of the Faculty of Sciences) 2. Upon arrival, groups with guides will be organized. 3. There will be groups in English language. These groups will wait at the destination until the arrival of all buses. 4. After the visit to the Alhambra we will walk to the Carmen de los Mártires to have a cocktail. 5. On the way back, we can go back by bus, which will leave from the same place where they left us at the Alhambra. 6. Although the way to the Alhambra by bus seems long, it really is close to the city. We invite you, whoever wishes, to go down for a pleasant walk. 7. Do not forget to take your Alhambra ticket and your identity card or passport. The document must be the same whose number matches the ticket number you have.
