A Data-Driven Block Thresholding Approach to Wavelet Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A data-driven block thresholding procedure for wavelet regression is proposed and its theoretical and numerical properties are investigated. The procedure empirically chooses the block size and threshold level at each resolution level by minimizing Stein’s unbiased risk estimate. The estimator is sharp adaptive over a class of Besov bodies and achieves simultaneously within a small constant factor of the minimax risk over a wide collection of Besov Bodies including both the dense and sparse cases. The procedure is easy to implement. Numerical results show that it has superior finite sample performance in comparison to the other leading wavelet thresholding estimators.

Empirical Bayes approach to block wavelet function estimation
Wavelet methods have demonstrated considerable success in function estimation through term-by-term thresholding of the empirical wavelet coefficients. However, it has been shown that grouping the empirical wavelet coefficients into blocks and making simultaneous threshold decisions about all the coefficients in each block has a number of advantages over term-by-term wavelet thresholding, includ...
متن کاملAdaptive Parameter Selection for Block Wavelet-Thresholding Deconvolution
In this paper, we propose a data-driven block thresholding procedure for waveletbased non-blind deconvolution. The approach consists in appropriately writing the problem in the wavelet domain and then selecting both the block size and threshold parameter at each resolution level by minimizing Stein’s unbiased risk estimate. The resulting algorithm is simple to implement and fast. Numerical illu...
متن کاملBlock thresholding for a density estimation problem with a change-point
We consider a density estimation problem with a change-point. We develop an adaptive wavelet estimator constructed from a block thresholding rule. Adopting the minimax point of view under the Lp risk (with p ≥ 1) over Besov balls, we prove that it is near optimal.
متن کاملWavelet block thresholding for samples with random design: a minimax approach under the Lp risk
In recent years, wavelet thresholding procedures have been widely applied to the field of nonparametric function estimation. They excel in the areas of spatial adaptivity, computational efficiency and asymptotic optimality. Among the various thresholding techniques studied in the literature, there are the term-byterm thresholding (hard, soft, . . . ) initially developed by Donoho and Johnstone ...
متن کاملAdaptive Wavelet Estimation: A Block Thresholding And Oracle Inequality Approach
We study wavelet function estimation via the approach of block thresholding and ideal adaptation with oracle. Oracle inequalities are derived and serve as guides for the selection of smoothing parameters. Based on an oracle inequality and motivated by the data compression and localization properties of wavelets, an adaptive wavelet estimator for nonparametric regression is proposed and the opti...
