The Asymptotic Minimax Constant for Sup-Norm Loss in Nonparametric Density Estimation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We develop the exact constant of the risk asymptotics in the uniform norm for density estimation. This constant has first been found for nonparametric regression and for signal estimation in Gaussian white noise. Hölder classes for arbitrary smoothness index β > 0 on the unit interval are considered. The constant involves the value of an optimal recovery problem as in the white noise case, but in addition it depends on the maximum of densities in the function class.

Minimax exact constant in sup-norm for nonparametric regression with random design
We consider the nonparametric regression model with random design. We study the estimation of a regression function f in the uniform norm assuming that f belongs to a Hölder class. We determine the minimax exact constant and an asymptotically exact estimator. They depend on the minimum value of the design density.
متن کاملOn Nonparametric Density Estimation in Sup-norm
The quality of estimation of a nonparametric density in the sup-norm strongly depends on the edge eeects. This is shown for the minimax Bahadur-type risk over a class of the HH older densities. The asymptotics of the Bahadur-type risks is compared with that for the traditional risks, and the links with the regression models are discussed.
متن کاملStatistical Topology via Morse Theory Persistence and Nonparametric Estimation
In this paper we examine the use of topological methods for multivariate statistics. Using persistent homology from computational algebraic topology, a random sample is used to construct estimators of persistent homology. This estimation procedure can then be evaluated using the bottleneck distance between the estimated persistent homology and the true persistent homology. The connection to sta...
متن کاملAsymptotic Equivalence of Estimating a Poisson Intensity and a Positive Diffusion Drift by Valentine Genon-catalot,
We consider a diffusion model of small variance type with positive drift density varying in a nonparametric set. We investigate Gaussian and Poisson approximations to this model in the sense of asymptotic equivalence of experiments. It is shown that observation of the diffusion process until its first hitting time of level one is a natural model for the purpose of inference on the drift density...
متن کاملA kernel type nonparametric density estimator for decompounding
Given a sample from a discretely observed compound Poisson process we consider estimation of the density of the jump sizes. We propose a kernel type nonparametric density estimator and study its asymptotic properties. Asymptotic expansions of the bias and variance of the estimator are given and pointwise weak consistency and asymptotic normality are established. We also derive the minimax conve...
