Minimax Kernels for Nonparametric Estimation
SUMMARY The minimax kernels for nonparametric function and its derivative estimates are investigated. Our motivation comes from a study of minimax properties of nonparametric kernel estimates of probability densities and their derivatives. The asymptotic expression of the linear maximum risk is established. The corresponding minimax risk depends on the solutions to a kernel variational problem,...
متن کاملMinimax and Adaptive Inference in Nonparametric Function Estimation
Since Stein’s 1956 seminal paper, shrinkage has played a fundamental role in both parametric and nonparametric inference. This article discusses minimaxity and adaptive minimaxity in nonparametric function estimation. Three interrelated problems, function estimation under global integrated squared error, estimation under pointwise squared error, and nonparametric confidence intervals, are consi...
متن کاملMinimax Adaptive Estimation of Nonparametric Hidden Markov Models
We consider stationary hidden Markov models with finite state space and nonparametric modeling of the emission distributions. It has remained unknown until very recently that such models are identifiable. In this paper, we propose a new penalized least-squares estimator for the emission distributions which is statistically optimal and practically tractable. We prove a non asymptotic oracle ineq...
متن کاملModern Nonparametric Statistics: Going Beyond Asymptotic Minimax
During the years 1975 1990 a major emphasis in nonparametric estimation was put on computing the asymptotic minimax risk for many classes of functions. Modern statistical practice indicates some serious limitations of the asymptotic minimax approach and calls for some new ideas and methods which can cope with the numerous challenges brought to statisticians by modern sets of data. Mathematics S...
متن کاملA LOCAL MINIMAX LOWER BOUNDFOR NONPARAMETRIC DECONVOLUTIONSecond
Suppose we have i.i.d. observations with a distribution equal to the convolution of an unknown distribution function F and a known distribution function K. We derive a local minimax lower bound for the problem of estimating F at a xed point x 0. We focus on the dependence of the lower bound on the smoothness of the distribution K. The performance with respect to the lower bound of nonparametric...
