Managing social risks – tradeoffs between risks and inequalities

Tradeoffs Between Global And Local Risks In Nonparametric Function Estimation

We investigate the possibility of finding multi-purpose nonparametric function estimators that are minimax rate optimal for estimating the entire function and are also minimax rate optimal for point estimation. We show that it is impossible to attain the global optimal rate of convergence as well as the local optimal rate at every point. An inequality concerning estimation in a two parameter st...

Such imaging findings have been increasingly frequent as the use of sectional imaging methods is disseminated. Its incidence can hardly be established, but it is known that pulmonary nodules may be identified at up to 50% of chest computed tomography (CT) studies in smoking individ...
