The paper investigates the choice of adaptive and non-adaptive bandwidths for density estimation given data on a spatial lattice. An adaptive bandwidth depends on local data and hence adaptively conforms with local features of the spatial data. We propose a spatial cross-validation (SCV) choice of a global bandwidth. This is done first with a pilot density involved in the expression for the adaptive bandwidth. The optimality of the procedure is established, and it is shown that a non-adaptive bandwidth choice comes out as a special case. Although the cross-validation idea has been popular for choosing a non-adaptive bandwidth in data-driven smoothing of independent and time series data, its theory and application have not been much investigated for spatial data. For the adaptive case, there is little theory even for independent data. Conditions that ensure asymptotic optimality of the SCV-selected bandwidth are derived, actually, also extending time series and independent data optimality results. Further, for the adaptive bandwidth with an estimated pilot density, oracle properties of the resultant density estimator are obtained asymptotically as if the true pilot were known. Numerical simulations show that finite sample performance of the SCV adaptive bandwidth choice works quite well. It outperforms the existing R routines such as the \u2018rule of thumb\u2019 and the so-called \u2018second-generation\u2019 Sheather\u2013Jones bandwidths for moderate and big data sets. An empirical application to a set of spatial soil data is further implemented with non-Gaussian features significantly identified.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/rssb.12367","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,21]],"date-time":"2020-04-21T08:17:22Z","timestamp":1587457042000},"page":"817-840","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["On Bandwidth Choice for Spatial Data Density Estimation"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"82","author":[{"given":"Zhenyu","family":"Jiang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Southampton \u00a0 UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nengxiang","family":"Ling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hefei University of Technology \u00a0 People\u2019s Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zudi","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Southampton \u00a0 UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dag","family":"Tj\u2298stheim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Bergen \u00a0 Norway"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qiang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing University of Chemical Technology \u00a0 People\u2019s Republic of China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023022408363766900_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1217","DOI":"10.1214\/aos\/1176345986","article-title":"On bandwidth variation in kernel estimates\u2014a square root law","volume":"10","author":"Abramson","year":"1982","journal-title":"Ann.
