New M-estimators in semi-parametric regression with errors in variables

Cristina Butucea, Marie-Luce Taupin (2008)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

In the regression model with errors in variables, we observe i.i.d. copies of (, ) satisfying = ()+ and =+ involving independent and unobserved random variables , , plus a regression function , known up to a finite dimensional . The common densities of the ’s and of the ’s are unknown, whereas the distribution of is completely known. We aim at estimating the parameter by using the observations...

Change-point estimation from indirect observations. 2. Adaptation

A. Goldenshluger, A. Juditsky, A. Tsybakov, A. Zeevi (2008)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

We focus on the problem of adaptive estimation of signal singularities from indirect and noisy observations. A typical example of such a singularity is a discontinuity (change-point) of the signal or of its derivative. We develop a change-point estimator which adapts to the unknown smoothness of a nuisance deterministic component and to an unknown jump amplitude. We show that the proposed estimator attains optimal adaptive rates of convergence. A simulation study demonstrates reasonable...

Adaptive estimation of the conditional intensity of marker-dependent counting processes

F. Comte, S. Gaïffas, A. Guilloux (2011)

Annales de l'I.H.P. Probabilités et statistiques

Similarity:

We propose in this work an original estimator of the conditional intensity of a marker-dependent counting process, that is, a counting process with covariates. We use model selection methods and provide a nonasymptotic bound for the risk of our estimator on a compact set. We show that our estimator reaches automatically a convergence rate over a functional class with a given (unknown) anisotropic regularity. Then, we prove a lower bound which establishes that this rate is optimal. Lastly,...
