Maxisets for μ-thresholding rules
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we study the performances of a large class of procedures, called μ-thresholding rules. At first, we exhibit the maximal spaces (or maxisets) where these rules attain given rates of convergence when considering the Besov-risk. Then, we point out a way to construct μ-thresholding rules for which the maxiset contains the hard thresholding rule’s one. In particular, we prove that procedures which consist in thresholding coefficients by groups, as block thresholding rules or thresholding rules with tree structure, outperform in the maxiset sense procedures which consist in thresholding coefficients individually.

In this paper our aim is to provide tools for easily calculating the maxisets of several procedures. Then we apply these results to perform a comparison between several Bayesian estimators in a non parametric setting. We obtain that many Bayesian rules can be described through a general behavior such as being shrinkage rules, limited, and/or elitist rules. This has consequences on their maxiset...
متن کاملBayesian Modelling of Sparse Sequences and Maxisets for Bayes Rules
In this paper, our aim is to estimate sparse sequences in the framework of the heteroscedastic white noise model. To model sparsity, we consider a Bayesian model composed of a mixture of a heavy-tailed density and a point mass at zero. To evaluate the performance of the Bayes rules (the median or the mean of the posterior distribution), we exploit an alternative to the minimax setting developed...
متن کاملMaxisets for model selection
We address the statistical issue of determining the maximal spaces (maxisets) where model selection procedures attain a given rate of convergence. We first prove that the answer lies in the approximation theory and we characterize these maxisets in terms of approximation spaces. This result is exemplified by three classical choices of model collections. For each of them, the corresponding maxis...
متن کاملMaxiset 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 کاملA Bayesian Decision Theoretic Approach to Wavelet Thresholding
Thresholding rules recently became of considerable interest when Donoho and John-stone applied them in the wavelet shrinkage context. Analytically simple, such rules are very eecient in data denoising and data compression problems. In this paper we nd hard thresholding decision rules that minimize Bayes risk for broad classes of underlying models. Standard Donoho-Johnstone test signals are used...
