Exact adaptive pointwise estimation on Sobolev classes of densities

Cristina Butucea (2001)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

The subject of this paper is to estimate adaptively the common probability density of n independent, identically distributed random variables. The estimation is done at a fixed point x 0 ∈ ℝ , over the density functions that belong to the Sobolev class W n ( β , L ) . We consider the adaptive problem setup, where the regularity parameter β is unknown and varies in a given set B n . A sharp adaptive estimator is obtained, and the explicit asymptotical constant, associated to its rate of convergence is found. ...

Density estimation with quadratic loss: a confidence intervals method

Pierre Alquier (2008)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

We propose a feature selection method for density estimation with quadratic loss. This method relies on the study of unidimensional approximation models and on the definition of confidence regions for the density thanks to these models. It is quite general and includes cases of interest like detection of relevant wavelets coefficients or selection of support vectors in SVM. In the general case, we prove that every selected feature actually improves the performance of the estimator....
