Isotonic estimation for grouped data
1999
A non-parametric estimator of a non-increasing density is found in a class of piecewise linear functions when the data consist only of counts. An EM-Algorithm for computing the estimator is developed, and the iterates in the algorithm are shown to converge to the maximum likelihood estimator. Potential applications to distance sampling models are described and illustrated with a numerical example.
