Density estimation in the presence of heteroskedastic measurement error
We consider density estimation when the variable of interest is subject to heteroskedastic measurement error. The density is assumed to have a smooth but unknown functional form which we model with a penalized mixture of B-splines. We treat the situation where multiple mismeasured observations of each of the variables of interest are observed for at least some of the subjects, and the measureme...
متن کاملBottleneck Conditional Density Estimation
We propose a neural network framework for high-dimensional conditional density estimation. The Bottleneck Conditional Density Estimator (BCDE) is a variant of the conditional variational autoencoder (CVAE) that employs layer(s) of stochastic variables as the bottleneck between the input x and target y, where both are highdimensional. The key to effectively train BCDEs is the hybrid blending of ...
متن کاملDensity Estimation with Normal Measurement Error with Unknown Variance
Abstract: This paper deals with the problem of estimating a density based on observations which are contaminated by a normally distributed error whose variance is unknown. In the case of a completely unknown error variance, the impossibility of a uniformly consistent estimation is shown; however, a semi-uniformly consistent estimator is constructed under nonparametric smoothness conditions on t...
متن کاملFast Nonparametric Conditional Density Estimation
Conditional density estimation. The idea of conditional density estimation is to construct a density estimate f̂(y|x) for a dependent variable y, conditional on a vector of variables x. This can be seen as a generalization of regression, where instead of estimating the expected value E(y|x) alone, we instead model the full density. This is especially important for multi-modal densities, where th...
متن کاملPartition-Based Conditional Density Estimation
We propose a general partition-based strategy to estimate conditional density with candidate densities that are piecewise constant with respect to the covariate. Capitalizing on a general penalized maximum likelihood model selection result, we prove, on two specific examples, that the penalty of each model can be chosen roughly proportional to its dimension. We first study a classical strategy ...
