Adaptive estimation of a density function using beta kernels

Karine Bertin, Nicolas Klutchnikoff (2014)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In this paper we are interested in the estimation of a density − defined on a compact interval of ℝ− from independent and identically distributed observations. In order to avoid boundary effect, beta kernel estimators are used and we propose a procedure (inspired by Lepski’s method) in order to select the bandwidth. Our procedure is proved to be adaptive in an asymptotically minimax framework. Our estimator is compared with both the cross-validation algorithm and the oracle estimator...

Adaptive estimation of the stationary density of discrete and continuous time mixing processes

Fabienne Comte, Florence Merlevède (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In this paper, we study the problem of non parametric estimation of the stationary marginal density of an or a -mixing process, observed either in continuous time or in discrete time. We present an unified framework allowing to deal with many different cases. We consider a collection of finite dimensional linear regular spaces. We estimate using a projection estimator built on a data driven selected linear space among the collection. This data driven choice is performed the minimization...

Semiparametric deconvolution with unknown noise variance

Catherine Matias (2010)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

This paper deals with semiparametric convolution models, where the noise sequence has a Gaussian centered distribution, with unknown variance. Non-parametric convolution models are concerned with the case of an entirely known distribution for the noise sequence, and they have been widely studied in the past decade. The main property of those models is the following one: the more regular the distribution of the noise is, the worst the rate of convergence for the estimation of the signal's...

Penalized nonparametric drift estimation for a continuously observed one-dimensional diffusion process

Eva Löcherbach, Dasha Loukianova, Oleg Loukianov (2011)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Let be a one dimensional positive recurrent diffusion continuously observed on [0,] . We consider a non parametric estimator of the drift function on a given interval. Our estimator, obtained using a penalized least square approach, belongs to a finite dimensional functional space, whose dimension is selected according to the data. The non-asymptotic risk-bound reaches the minimax optimal rate of convergence when → ∞. The main point of our work is that we do not suppose the process...

An ℓ1-oracle inequality for the Lasso in finite mixture gaussian regression models

Caroline Meynet (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

We consider a finite mixture of Gaussian regression models for high-dimensional heterogeneous data where the number of covariates may be much larger than the sample size. We propose to estimate the unknown conditional mixture density by an -penalized maximum likelihood estimator. We shall provide an -oracle inequality satisfied by this Lasso estimator with the Kullback–Leibler loss. In particular, we give a condition on the regularization parameter of...

Shrinkage strategies in some multiple multi-factor dynamical systems

Sévérien Nkurunziza (2012)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

In this paper, we are interested in estimation problem for the drift parameters matrices of independent multivariate diffusion processes. More specifically, we consider the case where the -parameters matrices are supposed to satisfy some uncertain constraints. Given such an uncertainty, we develop shrinkage estimators which improve over the performance of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE). Under an asymptotic distributional quadratic risk criterion, we study the relative dominance...
