An essential problem in nonparametric smoothing of noisy data is a proper choice of the bandwidth or window width, which depends on a smoothing parameter <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$k$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>. One way to choose <InlineEquation ID="IEq2"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$k$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> based on the data is leave-one-out-cross-validation. The selection of the cross-validation criterion is...</equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation>

The L <Subscript>1</Subscript>-median is a robust estimator of multivariate location with good statistical properties. Several algorithms for computing the L <Subscript>1</Subscript>-median are available. Problem specific algorithms can be used, but also general optimization routines. The aim is to compare different algorithms with respect...</subscript></subscript>
