Sharp Estimation in Sup Norm with Random Design
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. In this paper, we study the estimation of a function based on noisy inhomogeneous data (the amount of data can vary on the estimation domain). We consider the model of regression with random design, where the design density is unknown. We construct an asymptotically sharp estimator which converges, for sup norm error loss, with a spatially dependent normalisation which is sensitive to the variations in the local amount of data. This estimator combines both kernel and local polynomial methods, and it does not depend within its construction on the design density. Then, we prove that the normalisation is optimal in an appropriate sense.

Minimax exact constant in sup-norm for nonparametric regression with random design
We consider the nonparametric regression model with random design. We study the estimation of a regression function f in the uniform norm assuming that f belongs to a Hölder class. We determine the minimax exact constant and an asymptotically exact estimator. They depend on the minimum value of the design density.
متن کاملStatistical Topology via Morse Theory Persistence and Nonparametric Estimation
In this paper we examine the use of topological methods for multivariate statistics. Using persistent homology from computational algebraic topology, a random sample is used to construct estimators of persistent homology. This estimation procedure can then be evaluated using the bottleneck distance between the estimated persistent homology and the true persistent homology. The connection to sta...
متن کاملUniform-in-bandwidth kernel estimation for censored data
We present a sharp uniform-in-bandwidth functional limit law for the increments of the Kaplan-Meier empirical process based upon right-censored random data. We apply this result to obtain limit laws for nonparametric kernel estimators of local functionals of lifetime densities, which are uniform with respect to the choices of bandwidth and kernel. These are established in the framework of conve...
متن کاملOn Nonparametric Density Estimation in Sup-norm
The quality of estimation of a nonparametric density in the sup-norm strongly depends on the edge eeects. This is shown for the minimax Bahadur-type risk over a class of the HH older densities. The asymptotics of the Bahadur-type risks is compared with that for the traditional risks, and the links with the regression models are discussed.
متن کاملLarge-scale Inversion of Magnetic Data Using Golub-Kahan Bidiagonalization with Truncated Generalized Cross Validation for Regularization Parameter Estimation
In this paper a fast method for large-scale sparse inversion of magnetic data is considered. The L1-norm stabilizer is used to generate models with sharp and distinct interfaces. To deal with the non-linearity introduced by the L1-norm, a model-space iteratively reweighted least squares algorithm is used. The original model matrix is factorized using the Golub-Kahan bidiagonalization that proje...
