Least empirical risk procedures in statistical inference

Wojciech Niemiro (1993)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider the empirical risk function Q n ( α ) = 1 n ∑ i = 1 n · f ( α , Z i ) (for iid Z i ’s) under the assumption that f(α,z) is convex with respect to α. Asymptotics of the minimum of Q n ( α ) is investigated. Tests for linear hypotheses are derived. Our results generalize some of those concerning LAD estimators and related tests.

A class of unbiased kernel estimates of a probability density function

Tomasz Rychlik (1995)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We propose a class of unbiased and strongly consistent nonparametric kernel estimates of a probability density function, based on a random choice of the sample size and the kernel function. The expected sample size can be arbitrarily small and mild conditions on the local behavior of the density function are imposed.

Estimation of nuisance parameters for inference based on least absolute deviations

Wojciech Niemiro (1995)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

Statistical inference procedures based on least absolute deviations involve estimates of a matrix which plays the role of a multivariate nuisance parameter. To estimate this matrix, we use kernel smoothing. We show consistency and obtain bounds on the rate of convergence.
