Adaptive non-asymptotic confidence balls in density estimation

Matthieu Lerasle (2012)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

We build confidence balls for the common density of a real valued sample . We use resampling methods to estimate the projection of onto finite dimensional linear spaces and a model selection procedure to choose an optimal approximation space. The covering property is ensured for all  ≥ 2 and the balls are adaptive over a collection of linear spaces.

Plug-in estimation of level sets in a non-compact setting with applications in multivariate risk theory

Elena Di Bernardino, Thomas Laloë, Véronique Maume-Deschamps, Clémentine Prieur (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

This paper deals with the problem of estimating the level sets () =  {() ≥ }, with  ∈ (0,1), of an unknown distribution function on ℝ . A plug-in approach is followed. That is, given a consistent estimator of , we estimate () by () =  { () ≥ }. In our setting, non-compactness property is required for the level sets to estimate. We state consistency results with respect to the Hausdorff distance and the volume of the symmetric...

Model selection and estimation of a component in additive regression

Xavier Gendre (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Let  ∈ ℝ be a random vector with mean and covariance matrix where is some known  × -matrix. We construct a statistical procedure to estimate as well as under moment condition on or Gaussian hypothesis. Both cases are developed for known or unknown . Our approach is free from any prior assumption on and is based on non-asymptotic model selection methods....

Risk bounds for new M-estimation problems

Nabil Rachdi, Jean-Claude Fort, Thierry Klein (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In this paper, we consider a new framework where two types of data are available: experimental data supposed to be i.i.d from and outputs from a simulated reduced model. We develop a procedure for parameter estimation to characterize a feature of the phenomenon . We prove a risk bound qualifying the proposed procedure in terms of the number of experimental data , reduced model complexity...

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Let be a complete Riemannian manifold,  ∈ ℕ and  ≥ 1. We prove that almost everywhere on  = ( ,, ) ∈  for Lebesgue measure in , the measure μ ( x ) = N k = 1 N x k μ ( x ) = 1 N ∑ k = 1 N δ x k has a unique–mean (). As a consequence, if  = ( ,, ) is a -valued random variable with absolutely continuous law, then almost surely (()) has a unique –mean. In particular if ( ...

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

Let be a hereditary property of words, , an infinite class of finite words such that every subword (block) of a word belonging to is also in . Extending the classical Morse-Hedlund theorem, we show that either contains at least words of length for every  or, for some , it contains at most words of length for every . More importantly, we prove the following quantitative extension of this result: if has words of length then, for every , it contains at most ⌈( + 1)/2⌉⌈( + 1)/2⌈...

We consider the standard first passage percolation model in ℤ for  ≥ 2 and we study the maximal flow from the upper half part to the lower half part (respectively from the top to the bottom) of a cylinder whose basis is a hyperrectangle of sidelength proportional to and whose height is () for a certain height function .
