Let X be a random element in a metric space (F,d), and let Y be a random variable with value 0 or 1. Y is
called the class, or the label, of X. Let (Xi,Yi)1 ≤ i ≤ n be an observed i.i.d. sample having the same law as (X,Y). The problem of classification is to
predict the label of a new random element X. The k-nearest
neighbor classifier is the simple following rule: look at
the k nearest neighbors of X in the trial sample and choose 0 or 1 for its label
according to the majority vote. When ,

In the regression model with errors in variables, we observe n i.i.d. copies of (Y, Z) satisfying Y=fθ0(X)+ξ and Z=X+ɛ involving independent and unobserved random variables X, ξ, ɛ plus a regression function fθ0, known up to a finite dimensional θ0. The common densities of the Xi’s and of the ξi’s are unknown, whereas the distribution of ɛ is completely known. We aim at estimating the parameter θ0 by using the observations (Y1, Z1), …, (Yn, Zn). We propose an estimation procedure based on the least...
This paper is concerned with nonparametric estimation of the Lévy density of a pure jump Lévy process. The sample path is observed at n discrete instants with fixed sampling interval. We construct a collection of estimators obtained by deconvolution methods and deduced from appropriate estimators of the characteristic function and its first derivative. We obtain a bound for the -risk, under general assumptions on the model. Then we propose a penalty function that allows to build an adaptive estimator....
In a multiple testing context, we consider a semiparametric mixture model with two components where one component is known and corresponds to the distribution of p-values under the null hypothesis and the other component f is nonparametric and stands for the distribution under the alternative hypothesis. Motivated by the issue of local false discovery rate estimation, we focus here on the estimation of the nonparametric unknown component f in the mixture, relying on a preliminary estimator of the...
Given a sample from a discretely observed Lévy process X = (Xt)t≥0 of the finite jump activity, the problem of nonparametric estimation of the Lévy density ρ corresponding to the process X is studied. An estimator of ρ is proposed that is based on a suitable inversion of the Lévy–Khintchine formula and a plug-in device. The main results of the paper deal with upper risk bounds for estimation of ρ over suitable classes of Lévy triplets. The corresponding lower bounds are also discussed.
We consider the nonparametric regression estimation problem of recovering an unknown response function f on the basis of spatially inhomogeneous data when the design points follow a known density g with a finite number of well-separated zeros. In particular, we consider two different cases: when g has zeros of a polynomial order and when g has zeros of an exponential order. These two cases correspond to moderate and severe data losses, respectively. We obtain asymptotic (as the sample size increases)...
