Abstract (EN): Density estimation is an important tool for data analysis. Non-parametric approaches have a reputation for offering state-of-the-art density estimates limited to few dimensions. Despite providing less accurate density estimates, histogram-based approaches remain the only alternative for datasets in high-dimensional spaces. In this paper, we present a multivariate histogram approach to estimate the density of a dataset without restrictions on the number of dimensions, containing both numerical and categorical variables (without numerical encoding) and allowing missing data (without the need to preprocess them). Results from the empirical evaluation show that it is possible to estimate the density of datasets without restrictions on dimensionality, and the method is robust to missing values and categorical variables.
