چکیده
In this paper we develop rate–optimal estimation procedures in the problem of estimating Lp–norm, p∈(1,∞) a probability density from independent observations. The is assumed to be defined on Rd, d≥1 and belong ball anisotropic Nikolskii space. We adopt minimax approach construct estimators case integer p≥2. demonstrate that, depending parameters class norm index p, rates convergence may vary inconsistency parametric n–estimation. results complement lower bounds derived companion (Goldenshluger Lepski (2020)).

Minimax Optimal Procedures for Locally Private Estimation
Working under a model of privacy in which data remains private even from the statistician,we study the tradeoff between privacy guarantees and the risk of the resulting statistical estima-tors. We develop private versions of classical information-theoretic bounds, in particular thosedue to Le Cam, Fano, and Assouad. These inequalities allow for a precise characterization ofs...
متن کاملDiscussion on “Minimax Optimal Procedures for Locally Private Estimation”
We congratulate Professors Duchi, Jordan and Wainwright on their path-breaking work in statistical decision theory and privacy. Their extension of classical information-theoretic lower bounds of Le Cam, Fano, and Assouad to local differential privacy can potentially lead to a systematic study of various lower bounds under all kinds of privacy constraints. Their successful treatments of some int...
متن کاملPareto Density Estimation: Probability Density Estimation for Knowledge Discovery
Pareto Density Estimation (PDE) as defined in this work is a method for the estimation of probability density functions using hyperspheres. The radius of the hyperspheres is derived from optimizing information while minimizing set size. It is shown, that PDE is a very good estimate for clusters of Gaussian structure. The robustness of the method is tested with respect to cluster overlap, number...
متن کاملOn minimax density estimation on R
the problem of density estimation on R from an independent sample X1, ...XN with common density f is concerned. The behavior of the minimax Lp-risk, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, is studied when f belongs to a Hölder class of regularity s on the real line. The lower bound for the minimax risk is provided. We show that the linear estimator is not efficient in this setting and construct a wavelet adaptive estimator...
متن کاملExact Minimax Predictive Density Estimation and MDL
The problems of predictive density estimation with Kullback-Leibler loss, optimal universal data compression for MDL model selection, and the choice of priors for Bayes factors in model selection are interrelated. Research in recent years has identified procedures which are minimax for risk in predictive density estimation and for redundancy in universal data compression. Here, after reviewing ...
