Minimax rates over Besov spaces in ill-conditioned mixture-models with varying mixing-weights
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider ill-conditioned mixture-models with varying mixing-weights. We study the classical homogeneity testing problem in the minimax setup and try to push the model to its limits, that is to say to let the mixture model to be really ill-conditioned. We highlight the strong connection between the mixing-weights and the expected rate of testing.This link is characterized by the behavior of the smallest eigenvalue of a particular matrix computed from the varying mixing-weights. We provide optimal testing procedures and we exhibit a wide range of rates that are the minimax and minimax adaptive rates for Besov balls. AMS 2010 subject classification: 62C20, 62G10, 62G20.

On the Minimax Optimality of Block Thresholded Wavelets Estimators for ?-Mixing Process
We propose a wavelet based regression function estimator for the estimation of the regression function for a sequence of ?-missing random variables with a common one-dimensional probability density function. Some asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator based on block thresholding are investigated. It is found that the estimators achieve optimal minimax convergence rates over large class...
متن کاملAdaptive Estimation in Autoregression or Β-mixing Regression via Model Selection
We study the problem of estimating some unknown regression function in a β-mixing dependent framework. To this end, we consider some collection of models which are finite dimensional spaces. A penalized leastsquares estimator (PLSE) is built on a data driven selected model among this collection. We state non asymptotic risk bounds for this PLSE and give several examples where the procedure can ...
متن کاملRates of Convergence and Adaptation over Besov Spaces under Pointwise Risk
Function estimation over the Besov spaces under pointwise r (1 ≤ r < ∞) risks is considered. Minimax rates of convergence are derived using a constrained risk inequality and wavelets. Adaptation under pointwise risks is also considered. Sharp lower bounds on the cost of adaptation are obtained and are shown to be attainable by a wavelet estimator. The results demonstrate important differences b...
متن کاملOn Block Thresholding in Wavelet Regression with Long Memory Correlated Noise
Johnstone and Silverman (1997) and Johnstone (1999) described a level-dependent thresholding method for extracting signals from both shortand long range dependent noise in the wavelet domain structure. It is shown that their Stein unbiased risk estimators (SURE) attain the exact optimal convergence rates in a wide range of Besov balls in certain asymptotic models of standard sample-data models....
