Chapter 4 Nonparametric regression : minimax upper and lower bounds
We consider one of the two the most classical non-parametric problems in this example: estimating a regression function on a subset of the real line (the most classical problem being estimation of a density). In non-parametric regression, we assume there is an unknown function f : R → R, where f belongs to a pre-determined class of functions F ; usually this class is parameterized by some type ...
متن کاملLower bounds on minimax rates for nonparametric regression with additive sparsity and smoothness
We study minimax rates for estimating high-dimensional nonparametric regression models with sparse additive structure and smoothness constraints. More precisely, our goal is to estimate a function f∗ : R → R that has an additive decomposition of the form f(X1, . . . ,Xp) = ∑ j∈S h ∗ j (Xj), where each component function h ∗ j lies in some class H of “smooth” functions, and S ⊂ {1, . . . , p} is...
متن کاملA Remedy to Regression Estimators and Nonparametric Minimax Efficiency
It is known that both Watson-Nadaraya and Gasser-Muller types of regression estimators have some disadvantages. A smooth version of local polynomial regression estimators are proposed to remedy the disadvantages. The mean squared error and mean integrated squared errors are computed explicitly. It turns out that by suitably selecting a kernel and a bandwidth, the proposed estimator has at least...
متن کاملMinimax Lower Bounds for Nonparametric Deconvolution Report 98{25
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 local minimax lower bounds for the problem of estimating F , its density f and its derivatives at a xed point x 0. Contrary to a previous local minimax bound in Van Es (1998) only smooth perturbations are considered. The local boun...
متن کاملMinimax rates for nonparametric speci cation testing in regression models
In the context of testing the speci cation of a nonlinear parametric regression function, we study the power of speci cation tests using the minimax approach. We determine the maximum rate at which a set of smooth local alternatives can approach the parametric model while ensuring consistency of a test uniformly against any alternative in this set. We show that a smooth nonparametric testing pr...
