(R1953) M-Regression Estimation with the k Nearest Neighbors Smoothing under Quasi-associated Data in Functional Statistics

Abstract

The main goal of this paper is to study the non parametric M-estimation under quasi-associated sequence with the k Nearest Neighbor’s method shortly (kNN). We construct an estimator of this nonparametric function and we study its asymptotic properties. Furthermore, a comparison study based on simulated data is also provided to illustrate the highly sensitive of the kNN approach to the presence of even a small proportion of outliers in the data
