In multivariate kernel density estimation, the bandwidth selection remains a challenge in terms of algorithmic performance and quality of the resulting estimation. A recently developped method, the Penalized Comparison to Overfitting (PCO), is compared to other usual bandwidth selection methods for multivariate and univariate kernel density estimation. In particular, the cross-validation and plug-in estimators are numerically investigated and compared to PCO. This study points out that the PCO can outperform the others classical methods without algorithmic additionnal cost.
