Error reduction in density estimation under shape restrictions
For the problems of nonparametric estimation of nonincreasing and symmetric unimodal density functions with bounded supports we determine the projections of estimates onto the convex families of possible parent densities with respect to the weighted integrated squared error We also describe the method of approx imating the analogous projections onto the respective density classes satisfying som...

For the problems of nonparametric estimation of nonincreasing and symmetric unimodal density functions with bounded supports we determine the projections of estimates onto the convex families of possible parent densities with respect to weighted integrated squared error.

متن کاملEstimation of a Function under Shape Restrictions . Applications to Reliability
This paper deals with a nonparametric shape respecting estimation method for U-shaped or unimodal functions. A general upper bound for the nonasymptotic L1-risk of the estimator is given. The method is applied to the shape respecting estimation of several classical functions, among them typical intensity functions encountered in the reliability field. In each case, we derive from our upper boun...
متن کاملParameter estimation under orthant restrictions
The authors consider the estimation of linear functions of a multivariate parameter under orthant restrictions. These restrictions are considered both for location models and for the Poisson distribution. For these models, situations are characterized for which the restricted maximum likelihood estimator dominates the unrestricted one for the estimation of any linear function of the parameter. ...
