Differet parametric detectio fuctios are suggested to compute the smoothig parameter of the oparametric fourth-order kerel estimator. Amog the differet cadidate parametric detectio fuctios, the researcher suggests to use Akaike Iformatio Criterio (AIC to select the most appropriate oe of them to fit lie trasect data. More specifically, four differet parametric models are cosidered i this research. Where as two models were take to satisfy the shoulder coditio assumptio, the other two do ot. Oce the appropriate model is determied, it ca be used to select the smoothig parameter of the oparametric fourth-order kerel estimator. As the researcher expected, this techique leads to improve the performaces of the fourth-order kerel estimator. For a wide rage of target desities, a simulatio study is performed to study the properties of the proposed estimators which show the superiority of the resultig proposed fourth-order kerel estimator over the classical kerel estimator i most cosidered cases. Keywords: Akaike iformatio criterio, Maximum likelihood estimatio, Fourth-order kerel estimator, Expoetial model, Halformal model, Weighted Expoetial model, Reversed Logistic model. 1 Itroductio The smoothig parameter h of the fourth-order kerel estimator plays a vital role i its performace. Its performace becomes acceptable compared to the classical kerel estimator whe the method of determiig the smoothig parameter is chose correctly. I other words, there is a scope to improve the performaces of the fourth-order kerel estimator by cosiderig a suitable parametric method to determie h. mor survey give i Che [1, Clie ad Hart [2, Eidous [, Eidous ad bal-masri [4, Cowlig ad Hall [5, Eidous [6, Eidous ad Alshakhatreh [7, Gasser ad Muller [8, Gasser et al. [9, Eidous [10, Mack ad Quag [11, Wad ad Joes [12, Zhag ad Karuamui [1, Eidous [14. The four parametric models will be agai cosidered i this paper. However, choosig a suitable parametric model for the data is ot depedet o guesswork, istead the (AIC will be used for this purpose i this paper. To ivestigate the statistical properties of the resultat estimator, a simulatio study is performed lately i research Akaike Iformatio Criterio: Burham ad Aderso [16 illustrated that the (AIC is a quatitative method to select a suitable model for data. Iformatio theory ad a extesio of the maximum likelihood priciple usig AIC give i Akaike [17. They defied the AIC as: AIC= 2logL+2q, (1 where log L is the atural logarithm of the likelihood fuctio evaluated at the MLE of the model parameters ad q is the umber of parameters i the model. I this paper, the formulas for AIC will be computed for four parametric models. These parametric models are: Expoetial model f(x= 1 θ exp ( x θ, x>0, (2 Half-ormal model ( 1 x 2 f(x= exp 2Πσ 2 2σ 2, x>0, ( Correspodig author ahalgari@kau.edu.sa Natural Scieces Publishig Cor.

The likelihood fuctio is ( 1 1 L(θ 1 = exp( θ 1 θ 1 x i By takig the atural logarithm of both sides, we obtai logl(θ 1 = 1 θ 1 (7 (8 (10 x i logθ 1 (11 Multiply both sides of the last equatio by ( -2 we obtai 2logL(θ 1 = 2 θ 1 x i + 2logθ 1 (12 Sice there is oe parameter that eeds to be estimated, q=1. Therefore, the AIC for the expoetial model is Note that xis the ML estimator for θ 1. I the same way we ca derive the AIC for the other three models, which are give below: * For the Half-ormal model, the likelihood fuctio ad the atural logarithm of the likelihood fuctio are ˆσ L ( σ 2 ( ( 1 = exp 2Πσ 2 1 2σ 2 logl ( σ 2 = log 2Π logσ 1 2σ 2 This gives the AIC by x 2 i AIC half = 2log2+log [ 2π [ ˆσ = 2log2+log 2π x2 i (14 x 2 i (15 (16 where x2 i is the ML estimator of σ 2. * For the weighted expoetial model, the likelihood fuctio ad the atural logarithm of the likelihood fuctio are exp( L(θ = ( 2θ θ i (2 exp( θ x, x logl(θ =log( 2θ θ x i +log[ (2 exp( θ x, The AIC is AIC weight = 2log( 2 ˆθ + 2 ˆθ 2 log( 2 exp ( ˆθ x + 2. (17 (18 (19 where ˆθ is the ML estimator of θ, which does ot exist i closed form ad a umerical method such as the Newto- Raphso method is eeded to obtai the value of θ. * Fially, for the reversed logistic model, the likelihood fuctio ad the atural logarithm of the likelihood fuctio are L(θ 4 = ( 2θ4 log exp( θ 4 x i logl(θ 4 =log( 2θ4 log = log[ The AIC is (1+2exp( θ 4 x θ 4 x i (1+2exp( θ 4 x.

Simulatio Study Desig we performed a simulatio study to ivestigate the properties of the proposed estimator. This estimator is the fourth-order kerel whose parameter h ca be computed by cosiderig ay reasoable parametric model. Oe of the four parametric models metioed i Sectio (.2 of this chapter is ow used to compute h. The AIC is a criterio for choosig the most appropriate model based o the data. The resultig estimator is deoted by ˆf(0. The proposed estimator ˆf(0 is computed as follows: 1.Simulate the perpedicular distaces X 1, X 2,..., X from oe of the target models metioed i Sectio ( For the simulated perpedicular distaces, compute the value of h that correspods to the expoetial, half-ormal, weighted expoetial, ad reversed logistic models. The values of these smoothig parameters are deoted by h exp, h hal f, h weight, ad h Rever, respectively..compute the AIC for the expoetial, half-ormal, weighted expoetial, ad reversed logistic models. 4.Select the model with the smallest AIC as a referece model to compute the value of h based o the selected model. The formula for computig h for each model are give i Sectio (.2. 5.Compute the value of the fourth-order kerel estimator based o the selected h of step (4 ad based o the perpedicular distaces X 1, X 2,..., X. The data are simulated from the 16 models that were give i Sectio (2.6 with the same values of, β, ad ϖ. For a simple compariso, the results of a classical kerel estimator ˆf k (0 are also preseted. The relative bias (RB, relative mea error (RMX, ad the efficiecy (EFF of f k (0 with respect to ˆf k (0 are give i Tables ( Note that, EFF= MSE( ˆf k (0 MSE( f k (0 (2 as illustrated i Sectio (2. 4 Results Depedig o the simulatio results of Tables (.1-.4, several coclusios ca be draw by ispectig the results with regard to,, ad EFF. 1.It is obvious that the RBs that are associated with the proposed estimators fk (0 are smaller tha (i their magitude the correspodig RBs that are associated with the classical kerel estimator ˆf k (0. 2.The RMEs for the two estimators fk (0 ad ˆf k (0 decrease whe the sample size icreases. This is a strog idicatio of the cosistecy of these estimators..compared to fk (0, the performace of the classical kerel estimator seems to be reasoable for the EP model with β =2 at which the smoothig parameter of ˆf k (0 is computed uder this model (i.e., uder the half- ormal model. For the two cases, the HR model with (β,ω=(2.5,10 ad for the BE model with large value of β, the classical kerel estimator performs better tha fk (0. However, the efficiecies i these cases are aroud 1, which idicates that the performaces of the two estimators are similar. 4.With the exceptio of the three cases metioed i (, the performace of fk (0 is better tha that of ˆf k (0. I fact, out of the 16 target models, there are 12 cases i which fk (0 beats ˆf k (0. 5.I geeral, the performace of the fourth-order kerel estimator fk (0 is very good for almost all cosidered target models. I additio, for the cases i which ˆf k (0 seems to be better tha fk (0, the gai of efficiecy is ot sigificat compared with the large efficiecies of fk (0 over ˆf k (0 i certai cases. For example, the efficiecy of fk (0 for the model HR with (β,ω,=(1,5,200 is 4.086, which meas that the performace of ˆf k (0 becomes the same as that of fk (0 for a sample size of approximately = Fially, we ca say that Tables (.1-.4 demostrate clearly that there is a sigificat improvemet whe applyig the estimator fk (0 istead of the classical kerel estimator ˆf k (0.
