Estimating a discrete distribution via histogram selection

Nathalie Akakpo (2011)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Our aim is to estimate the joint distribution of a finite sequence of independent categorical variables. We consider the collection of partitions into dyadic intervals and the associated histograms, and we select from the data the best histogram by minimizing a penalized least-squares criterion. The choice of the collection of partitions is inspired from approximation results due to DeVore and Yu. Our estimator satisfies a nonasymptotic oracle-type inequality and adaptivity properties in the minimax...

Estimation of a smoothness parameter by spline wavelets

Magdalena Meller, Natalia Jarzębkowska (2013)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We consider the smoothness parameter of a function f ∈ L²(ℝ) in terms of Besov spaces B 2 , s ( ) , s * ( f ) = s u p s > 0 : f B 2 , s ( ) . The existing results on estimation of smoothness [K. Dziedziul, M. Kucharska and B. Wolnik, J. Nonparametric Statist. 23 (2011)] employ the Haar basis and are limited to the case 0 < s*(f) < 1/2. Using p-regular (p ≥ 1) spline wavelets with exponential decay we extend them to density functions with 0 < s*(f) < p+1/2. Applying the Franklin-Strömberg wavelet p = 1, we prove that the presented estimator...
