Adaptive estimation of a quadratic functional of a density by model selection

Béatrice Laurent (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We consider the problem of estimating the integral of the square of a density f from the observation of a n sample. Our method to estimate ∫ ℝ f 2 ( x ) d x is based on model selection via some penalized criterion. We prove that our estimator achieves the adaptive rates established by Efroimovich and Low on classes of smooth functions. A key point of the proof is an exponential inequality for U-statistics of order 2 due to Houdré and Reynaud.

Adaptive estimation of the conditional intensity of marker-dependent counting processes

F. Comte, S. Gaïffas, A. Guilloux (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We propose in this work an original estimator of the conditional intensity of a marker-dependent counting process, that is, a counting process with covariates. We use model selection methods and provide a nonasymptotic bound for the risk of our estimator on a compact set. We show that our estimator reaches automatically a convergence rate over a functional class with a given (unknown) anisotropic regularity. Then, we prove a lower bound which establishes that this rate is optimal. Lastly, we provide...

Adaptive goodness-of-fit testing from indirect observations

Cristina Butucea, Catherine Matias, Christophe Pouet (2009)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

In a convolution model, we observe random variables whose distribution is the convolution of some unknown density f and some known noise density g. We assume that g is polynomially smooth. We provide goodness-of-fit testing procedures for the test H0: f=f0, where the alternative H1is expressed with respect to 𝕃 2 -norm (i.e. has the form ψ n - 2 ∥ f - f 0 ∥ 2 2 ≥ 𝒞 ). Our procedure is adaptive with respect to the unknown smoothness parameterτ of f. Different testing rates (ψn) are obtained according to whether f0 is polynomially...

Adaptive wavelet estimation of the diffusion coefficient under additive error measurements

M. Hoffmann, A. Munk, J. Schmidt-Hieber (2012)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

We study nonparametric estimation of the diffusion coefficient from discrete data, when the observations are blurred by additional noise. Such issues have been developed over the last 10 years in several application fields and in particular in high frequency financial data modelling, however mainly from a parametric and semiparametric point of view. This paper addresses the nonparametric estimation of the path of the (possibly stochastic) diffusion coefficient in a relatively general setting. By...

An asymptotically unbiased moment estimator of a negative extreme value index

Frederico Caeiro, M. Ivette Gomes (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

In this paper we consider a new class of consistent semi-parametric estimators of a negative extreme value index, based on the set of the k largest observations. This class of estimators depends on a control or tuning parameter, which enables us to have access to an estimator with a null second-order component of asymptotic bias, and with a rather interesting mean squared error, as a function of k. We study the consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimators. Their finite sample...

Angles de droits et de revers. Distribution circulaire

C. Carcassonne (1974)

Mathématiques et Sciences Humaines

Dans cet article, on traite un échantillon d'angles de droits et de revers de pièces de monnaies. On a cherché à en donner une description statistique correcte et à ajuster une loi théorique puis à construire un test d'homogénéité non paramétrique de deux échantillons distribués sur le cercle.

Approximated maximum likelihood estimation of parameters of discrete stable family

Lenka Slámová, Lev B. Klebanov (2014)

Kybernetika

In this article we propose a method of parameters estimation for the class of discrete stable laws. Discrete stable distributions form a discrete analogy to classical stable distributions and share many interesting properties with them such as heavy tails and skewness. Similarly as stable laws discrete stable distributions are defined through characteristic function and do not posses a probability mass function in closed form. This inhibits the use of classical estimation methods such as maximum...

Aspects of analysis of multivariate failure time data.

Ross L. Prentice, John D. Kalbfleisch (2003)

SORT

Multivariate failure time data arise in various forms including recurrent event data when individuals are followed to observe the sequence of occurrences of a certain type of event; correlated failure time when an individual is followed for the occurrence of two or more types of events for which the individual is simultaneously at risk, or when distinct individuals have depending event times; or more complicated multistate processes where individuals may move among a number of discrete states over...
