Abstract
In this paper we formulate the requirements for choosing approximation bases in constructing cost-effective optimized computational (numerical) functional algorithms for approximating probability densities for a given sample, with special attention to stability and approximation of the bases. It is shown that to meet the requirements and construct efficient approaches to conditional optimization of the numerical schemes, the best choice is a multi-linear approximation and a corresponding special case for both kernel and projection computational algorithms for nonparametric density estimation, which is a multidimensional analogue of the frequency polygon.
