Isotonic inverse estimators for nonparametric deconvolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new nonparametric estimation procedure is introduced for the distribution function in a class of deconvolution problems, where the convolution density has one discontinuity. The estimator is shown to be consistent and its cube root asymptotic distribution theory is established. Known results on the minimax risk for the estimation problem indicate the estimator to be eecient.

Parametrically assisted nonparametric estimation of a density in the deconvolution problem
Nonparametric estimation of a density from contaminated data is a difficult problem, for which convergence rates are notoriously slow. We introduce parametrically assisted nonparametric estimators which can dramatically improve on performance of standard nonparametric estimators when the assumed model is close to the true density, without degrading much the quality of purely nonparametric estim...
متن کاملNonparametric estimation for Lévy processes from low-frequency observations
We suppose that a Lévy process is observed at discrete time points. A rather general construction of minimum-distance estimators is shown to give consistent estimators of the Lévy-Khinchine characteristics as the number of observations tends to infinity, keeping the observation distance fixed. For a specific C2-criterion this estimator is rate-optimal. The connection with deconvolution and inve...
متن کاملOn pointwise adaptive nonparametric deconvolution
We consider estimating an unknown function f from indirect white noise observations with particular emphasis on the problem of nonparametric deconvolution. Non-parametric estimators that can adapt to unknown smoothness of f are developed. The adaptive estimators are speciied under two sets of assumptions on the kernel of the convolution transform. In particular, kernels having the Fourier trans...
متن کاملOn Deconvolution with Repeated Measurements
In a large class of statistical inverse problems it is necessary to suppose that the transformation that is inverted is known. Although, in many applications, it is unrealistic to make this assumption, the problem is often insoluble without it. However, if additional data are available then it is possible to estimate consistently the unknown error density. Data are seldom available directly on ...
