Nonparametric statistical inverse problems

چکیده
We explain some basic theoretical issues regarding nonparametric statistics applied to inverse problems. Simple examples are used to present classical concepts such as the white noise model, risk estimation, minimax risk, model selection and optimal rates of convergence, as well as more recent concepts such as adaptive estimation, oracle inequalities, modern model selection methods, Stein’s unbiased risk estimation and the very recent risk hull method.

متن کاملModel selection, large deviations and consistency of data-driven tests
We consider three general classes of data-driven statistical tests. Neyman’s smooth tests, data-driven score tests and data-driven score tests for statistical inverse problems serve as important special examples for the classes of tests under consideration. Our tests are additionally incorporated with model selection rules. The rules are based on the penalization idea. Most of the optimal penal...
متن کاملNonparametric Approaches to Density Estimation, Regression, Classification, and Inverse Quantum Problems
Bayesian field theory denotes a nonparametric Bayesian approach for learning functions from observational data. Based on the principles of Bayesian statistics, a particular Bayesian field theory is defined by combining two models: a likelihood model, providing a probabilistic description of the measurement process, and a prior model, providing the information necessary to generalize from traini...
متن کاملOn L convergence of Neumann series approximation in missing data problems.
The inverse of the nonparametric information operator is key to finding doubly robust estimators and the semiparametric efficient estimator in missing data problems. It is known that no closed-form expression for the inverse of the nonparametric information operator exists when missing data form nonmonotone patterns. Neumann series is usually applied to approximate the inverse. However, Neumann...
