Abstract
An experiment records stimulus and response for a random sample of cases. The relationship between response and stimulus is thought to be linear, the values of the slope and intercept varying by case. From such data, we construct a consistent, asymptotically normal, nonparametric estimator for the joint density of the slope and intercept. Our methodology incorporates the radial projection-slice theorem for the Radon transform, a technique for locally linear nonparametric regression and a tapered Fourier inversion. Computationally, the new density estimator is more feasible than competing nonparametric estimators, one of which is based on moments and the other on minimum distance considerations.
