	abstract="Kernel density estimation (KDE) is an important method in nonparametric learning. While KDE has been studied extensively in the context of accuracy of distribution estimation, it has not been studied extensively in the context of classification. This paper studies nine bandwidth selection schemes for kernel density estimation in Naive Bayesian classification context, using 52 machine learning benchmark datasets. The contributions of this paper are threefold. First, it shows that some commonly used and very sophisticated bandwidth selection schemes do not give good performance in Naive Bayes. Surprisingly, some very simple bandwidth selection schemes give statistically significantly better performance. Second, it shows that kernel density estimation can achieve statistically significantly better classification performance than a commonly used discretization method in Naive Bayes, but only when appropriate bandwidth selection schemes are applied. Third, this study gives bandwidth distribution patterns for the investigated bandwidth selection schemes.",

	abstract = {We present a new method for data-based selection of the bandwidth in kernel density estimation which has excellent properties. It improves on a recent procedure of Park and Marron (which itself is a good method) in various ways. First, the new method has superior theoretical performance; second, it also has a computational advantage; third, the new method has reliably good performance for smooth densities in simulations, performance that is second to none in the existing literature. These methods are based on choosing the bandwidth to (approximately) minimize good quality estimates of the mean integrated squared error. The key to the success of the current procedure is the reintroduction of a non-stochastic term which was previously omitted together with use of the bandwidth to reduce bias in estimation without inflating variance.},
