Almost Sure Classification of Densities

نویسنده

چکیده

Let a class F of densities be given. We draw an i.i.d. sample from a density f which may or may not be in F . After every n, one must make a guess whether f ∈ F or not. A class is almost surely discernible if there exists such a sequence of classification rules such that for any f , we make finitely many errors almost surely. In this paper several results are given that allow one to decide whether a class is almost surely discernible. For example, continuity and square integrability are not discernible, but unimodality, log-concavity, and boundedness by a given constant are.

THE ALMOST SURE CONVERGENCE OF WEIGHTED SUMS OF NEGATIVELY DEPENDENT RANDOM VARIABLES

In this paper we study the almost universal convergence of weighted sums for sequence {x ,n } of negatively dependent (ND) uniformly bounded random variables, where a, k21 is an may of nonnegative real numbers such that 0(k ) for every ?> 0 and E|x | F | =0 , F = ?(X ,…, X ) for every n>l.

The Almost Sure Convergence for Weighted Sums of Linear Negatively Dependent Random Variables

In this paper, we generalize a theorem of Shao [12] by assuming that is a sequence of linear negatively dependent random variables. Also, we extend some theorems of Chao [6] and Thrum [14]. It is shown by an elementary method that for linear negatively dependent identically random variables with finite -th absolute moment the weighted sums converge to zero as where and is an array of...

Strongly consistent model selection for densities

Let f be an unknown multivariate density belonging to a set of densities Fk∗ of finite associated Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension, where the complexity k∗ is unknown, and Fk ⊂ Fk+1 for all k. Given an i.i.d. sample of size n drawn from f , this article presents a density estimate f̂Kn yielding almost sure convergence of the estimated complexity Kn to the true but unknown k∗, and with the property ...
