✦ Synopsis

The difficulties of assessing details of the shape of a bivariate distribution, and of contrasting subgroups, from a raw scatterplot are discussed. The use of contours of a density estimate in highlighting features of distributional shape is illustrated on data on the development of aircraft technology. The estimated density height at each observation imposes an ordering on the data which can be used to select contours which contain specified proportions of the sample. This leads to a display which is reminiscent of a boxplot and which allows simple but effective comparison of different groups. Some simple properties of this technique are explored.

Interesting features of a distribution such as 'arms' and multimodality are found along the directions where the largest probability mass is located. These directions can be quantified through the modes of a density estimate based on the direction of each observation.

In this study bivariate kernel density estimators are considered when a component is subject to random truncation. In bivariate truncation models one observes the i.i.d. samples from the triplets (T, Y, X) only if T Y. In this set-up, Y is said to be left truncated by T and T is right truncated by Y

The problem of estimating a marginal density from incomplete bivariate data is considered. A kernel estimator is proposed. Strong consistency of the estimator is proved, and asymptotic formulae for its mean and variance derived. A method of bandwidth selection is suggested. Application of the estima

The standard approach to non-parametric bivariate density estimation is to use a kernel density estimator. Practical performance of this estimator is hindered by the fact that the estimator is not adaptive (in the sense that the level of smoothing is not sensitive to local properties of the density)
