In this paper, researchers propose a novel method for estimating density in various fields using spline quasi-interpolation. The approach focuses on modeling univariate or multivariate data and has applications in clustering, anomaly detection, and generative modeling. By approximating monovariate empirical densities with the proposed method and constructing joint distributions using copulas, the authors demonstrate the effectiveness of their algorithm on artificial and real datasets.

This paper helps us better understand how to model and analyze data by estimating its probability density function. The researchers use a special type of math called “spline quasi-interpolation” to do this. They also use something called “copulas” to build models that can handle complex relationships between different parts of the data. This is important for things like grouping similar data points together or finding unusual patterns. The method was tested on both fake and real datasets, and it worked well.
