Extreme values and kernel estimates of point processes boundaries
ESAIM: Probability and Statistics, Tome 8 (2004), pp. 150-168.

We present a method for estimating the edge of a two-dimensional bounded set, given a finite random set of points drawn from the interior. The estimator is based both on a Parzen-Rosenblatt kernel and extreme values of point processes. We give conditions for various kinds of convergence and asymptotic normality. We propose a method of reducing the negative bias and edge effects, illustrated by some simulations.
