A new estimate of the mode based on the quantile density

Abstract

We propose a new mode estimate that is based on the quantile density. For second-order kernels and under general conditions its performance is asymptotically equivalent to that achieved by the classical approach using kernel density estimates. This is no longer the case for higher-order kernels. It then depends on the local behavior of f near the mode, which of the estimates is asymptotically favorable.
