Maxiset for Density Estimation
نویسنده
چکیده
The problem of density estimation on R is concerned. Adopting the maxiset point of view, the aim of this paper is threefold. Firstly, we prove that the maxiset of any elitist rule is contained in the intersection of a Besov space and a weak Besov space. Secondly, we provide an adaptive procedure for which the maxiset is the largest one among elitist rules (ideal maxiset). Thirdly, we point out the significance of data-driven thresholds in estimation by comparing the maxisets of this last procedure with the procedure using data-driven thresholds proposed by Juditsky and Lambert-Lacroix.

Maxiset for Density Estimation on R
The problem of density estimation on R is considered. Adopting the maxiset point of view, we focus on performance of adaptive procedures. Any rule which consists in neglecting the wavelet empirical coefficients smaller than a sequence of thresholds vn will be called an elitist rule. We prove that for such a procedure the maximal space for the rate v n , with 0 < α < 1, is always contained in th...
متن کاملThresholding methods to estimate the copula density
This paper deals with the problem of the multivariate copula density estimation. Using wavelet methods we provide two shrinkage procedures based on thresholding rules for which the knowledge of the regularity of the copula density to be estimated is not necessary. These methods, said to be adaptive, are proved to perform very well when adopting the minimax and the maxiset approaches. Moreover w...

متن کاملMaxiset in sup-norm for kernel estimators
In the Gaussian white noise model, we study the estimation of an unknown multidimensional function f in the uniform norm by using kernel methods. The performances of procedures are measured by using the maxiset point of view: we determine the set of functions which are well estimated (at a prescribed rate) by each procedure. So, in this paper, we determine the maxisets associated to kernel esti...
متن کاملLarge variance Gaussian priors in Bayesian nonparametric estimation: a maxiset approach∗
In this paper we compare wavelet Bayesian rules taking into account the sparsity of the signal with priors which are combinations of a Dirac mass with a standard distribution properly normalized. To perform these comparisons, we take the maxiset point of view: i. e. we consider the set of functions which are well estimated (at a prescribed rate) by each procedure. We especially consider the sta...
