摘要

Proportion or compositional data are a kind of data in which the individual components represent parts of a whole and, therefore, are constrained by a constant sum. We discuss kernel density estimation for compositional variables observed with errors by using a deconvolution approach. An application of the proposed method in social sciences is considered.
