Nonparametric and parametric estimation of wave statistics and spectra /

A nonparametric bivariate density estimation technique is developed employing tensor product B-splines to provide a concise wave data summary. Most of the existing nonparametric techniques involve a certain level of subjectivity in the choice of smoothing parameters. A criterion based on the least s...
