Adaptive estimation in symmetric location model under log-concavity constraint

چکیده
We revisit the problem of estimating center symmetry θ an unknown symmetric density f. Although Stone (1975), Van Eeden (1970), and Sacks (1975) constructed adaptive estimators in this model, their depend on external tuning parameters. In effort to reduce burden parameters, we impose additional restriction log-concavity construct truncated one-step which are under assumption. Our simulations indicate that untruncated version one step estimator, is parameter free, also asymptotically efficient. study maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) shape-restricted model.

Inference for a two-component mixture of symmetric distributions under log-concavity
In this article, we revisit the problem of estimating the unknown zero-symmetric distribution in a two-component location mixture model, considered in previous works, now under the assumption that the zero-symmetric distribution has a log-concave density. When consistent estimators for the shift locations and mixing probability are used, we show that the nonparametric log-concave Maximum Likeli...
متن کاملMatroids and log-concavity
We show that f -vectors of matroid complexes of realizable matroids are strictly log-concave. This was conjectured by Mason in 1972. Our proof uses the recent result by Huh and Katz who showed that the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a realizable matroid form a log-concave sequence. We also prove a statement on log-concavity of h-vectors which strengthens a result by Brown and ...
متن کاملBell Numbers, Log-concavity, and Log-convexity
Let fb k (n)g 1 n=0 be the Bell numbers of order k. It is proved that the sequence fb k (n)=n!g 1 n=0 is log-concave and the sequence fb k (n)g 1 n=0 is log-convex, or equivalently, the following inequalities hold for all n 0, 1 b k (n + 2)b k (n) b k (n + 1) 2 n + 2 n + 1 : Let f(n)g 1 n=0 be a sequence of positive numbers with (0) = 1. We show that if f(n)g 1 n=0 is log-convex, then (n)(m) (n...
متن کاملLog-Concavity and Symplectic Flows
We prove the logarithmic concavity of the Duistermaat-Heckman measure of an Hamiltonian (n− 2)-dimensional torus action for which there exists an effective commuting symplectic action of a 2-torus with symplectic orbits. Using this, we show that any symplectic (n− 2)-torus action with non-empty fixed point set which satisfies this additional 2-torus condition must be Hamiltonian.
متن کاملA Note on Log-Concavity
This is a small observation concerning scale mixtures and their log-concavity. A function f(x) ≥ 0, x ∈ Rn is called log-concave if f (λx + (1− λ)y) ≥ f(x)f(y) (1) for all x,y ∈ Rn, λ ∈ [0, 1]. Log-concavity is important in applied Bayesian Statistics, since a distribution with a log-concave density is easy to treat with many different approximate inference techniques. For example, log-concavit...
