Eecient Estimation of Analytic Density under Random Censorship
نویسنده
چکیده
The nonparametric minimax estimation of an analytic density at a given point, under random censorship, is considered. Although the problem of estimating density is known to be irregular in a certain sense, we make some connections relating this problem to the problem of estimating smooth functionals. Under condition that the censoring is not too severe, we establish the exact limiting behavior of the local minimax risk and propose the eecient (locally asymptotically minimax) estimator { an integral of some kernel with respect to the Kaplan-Meier estimator.

Linear Wavelet-Based Estimation for Derivative of a Density under Random Censorship
In this paper we consider estimation of the derivative of a density based on wavelets methods using randomly right censored data. We extend the results regarding the asymptotic convergence rates due to Prakasa Rao (1996) and Chaubey et al. (2008) under random censorship model. Our treatment is facilitated by results of Stute (1995) and Li (2003) that enable us in demonstrating that the same con...

The problem of the nonparametric minimax estimation of an innnitely smooth density at a given point, under random censorship, is considered. We establish the exact limiting behavior of the local minimax risk and propose the eecient kernel-type estimator based on the Kaplan-Meier estimator.
متن کاملExponential semiparametric regression models under random censorship∗
Using the weighted maximum likelihood method, we propose a consistent estimation of parametric portion and nonparametric portion in exponential semiparametric regression models under random censorship. A small Monte Carlo study is carried out to examine the proposed estimation method.
متن کاملDensity Estimation of Censored Data with Infinite-Order Kernels
Higher-order accurate density estimation under random right censorship is achieved using kernel estimators from a family of infinite-order kernels. A compatible bandwidth selection procedure is also proposed that automatically adapts to level of smoothness of the underlying lifetime density. The combination of infinite-order kernels with the new bandwidth selection procedure produces a consider...
متن کاملWavelet Linear Density Estimation for a GARCH Model under Various Dependence Structures
We consider n observations from the GARCH-type model: S = σ2Z, where σ2 and Z are independent random variables. We develop a new wavelet linear estimator of the unknown density of σ2 under four different dependence structures: the strong mixing case, the β- mixing case, the pairwise positive quadrant case and the ρ-mixing case. Its asymptotic mean integrated squared error properties are ...
