Asymptotically Local Minimax Estimation of Innnitely Smooth Density with Censored Data
نویسنده
چکیده
The problem of the nonparametric minimax estimation of an innnitely smooth density at a given point, under random censorship, is considered. We establish the exact limiting behavior of the local minimax risk and propose the eecient kernel-type estimator based on the Kaplan-Meier estimator.

Eecient Estimation of Analytic Density under Random Censorship
The nonparametric minimax estimation of an analytic density at a given point, under random censorship, is considered. Although the problem of estimating density is known to be irregular in a certain sense, we make some connections relating this problem to the problem of estimating smooth functionals. Under condition that the censoring is not too severe, we establish the exact limiting behavior ...
متن کاملAdaptive Nonparametric Regression Estimation in Presence of Right Censoring
In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating a regression function when the outcome is censored. Two strategies of estimation are proposed: a two-step strategy where the ratio of two projection estimators is used to estimate the regression function; a direct strategy based on a standard mean-square contrast for censored data. For both estimators, non-asymptotic bounds for the integrated...
متن کاملOn Estimation Following Selection with Applications on k-Records and Censored Data
Let X1 and X2 be two independent random variables from gamma populations Pi1,P2 with means alphaθ1 and alphaθ2 respectively, where alpha(> 0) is the common known shape parameter and θ1 and θ2 are scale parameters. Let X(1) ≤ X(2) denote the order statistics ofX1 and X2. Suppose that the population corresponding to the largest X(2) (or the smallest X(1)) observation is selected. The problem ofin...
متن کاملOrthogonal series density estimation
Orthogonal series density estimation is a powerful nonparametric estimation methodology that allows one to analyze and present data at hand without any prior opinion about shape of an underlying density. The idea of construction of an adaptive orthogonal series density estimator is explained on the classical example of a direct sample from a univariate density. Data-driven estimators, which hav...
متن کاملBayes Interval Estimation on the Parameters of the Weibull Distribution for Complete and Censored Tests
A method for constructing confidence intervals on parameters of a continuous probability distribution is developed in this paper. The objective is to present a model for an uncertainty represented by parameters of a probability density function. As an application, confidence intervals for the two parameters of the Weibull distribution along with their joint confidence interval are derived. The...
