Most approaches require the choice of a kernel, with the multivariate Gaussian kernel by far the most commonly used. Although heavy-tailed and skewed extensions have been proposed, such kernels cannot capture curvature in the support of the data. This leads to poor performance unless the sample size is very large relative to the dimension of the data. The paper proposes a novel generalization of the Gaussian distribution, which includes an additional curvature parameter. We refer to the proposed class as Fisher\u2013Gaussian kernels, since they arise by sampling from a von Mises\u2013Fisher density on the sphere and adding Gaussian noise. The Fisher\u2013Gaussian density has an analytic form and is amenable to straightforward implementation within Bayesian mixture models by using Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling. We provide theory on large support and illustrate gains relative to competitors in simulated and real data applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/rssb.12390","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,9]],"date-time":"2020-08-09T09:11:27Z","timestamp":1596964287000},"page":"1249-1271","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Estimating Densities with Non-Linear Support by Using Fisher\u2013Gaussian Kernels"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"82","author":[{"given":"Minerva","family":"Mukhopadhyay","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Indian Institute of Technology , Kanpur , India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Didong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Duke University , Durham , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David B.","family":"Dunson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Duke University , Durham , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023022408373685700_","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1152","DOI":"10.1214\/aos\/1176342871","article-title":"Mixtures of Dirichlet processes with applications to Bayesian nonparametric problems","volume":"2","author":"Antoniak","year":"1974","journal-title":"Ann.
