Deconvolution from panel data with unknown error distribution
نویسنده
چکیده
We devise a new method of estimating a distribution in a deconvolution model with panel data and an unknown distribution of the additive errors. We prove strong consistency under a minimal condition concerning the zero sets of the involved characteristic functions.

The effects of error magnitude and bandwidth selection for deconvolution with unknown error distribution.
The error distribution is generally unknown in deconvolution problems with real applications. A separate independent experiment is thus often conducted to collect the additional noise data in those studies. In this paper, we study the nonparametric deconvolution estimation from a contaminated sample coupled with an additional noise sample. A ridge-based kernel deconvolution estimator is propose...
متن کاملUniform Confidence Bands in Deconvolution with Unknown Error Distribution
This paper develops a method to construct confidence bands in deconvolution when the error distribution is unknown. We work with the case where an auxiliary sample from the error distribution is available and the error density is ordinary smooth. The construction is based upon the “intermediate” Gaussian approximation and the Gaussian multiplier bootstrap, but not on explicit limit distribution...
متن کاملMethodology for nonparametric deconvolution when the error distribution is unknown
In the nonparametric deconvolution problem, in order to estimate consistently a density or distribution from a sample of data contaminated by additive random noise, it is often assumed that the noise distribution is completely known or that an additional sample of replicated or validation data is available. Methods also have been suggested for estimating the scale of the error distribution, but...

متن کاملConsistent Density Deconvolution under Partially Known Error Distribution
We estimate the distribution of a real-valued random variable from contaminated observations. The additive error is supposed to be normally distributed, but with unknown variance. The distribution is identifiable from the observations if we restrict the class of considered distributions by a simple condition in the time domain. A minimum distance estimator is shown to be consistent imposing onl...
