Pointwise Optimality of Wavelet Density Estimation for Negatively Associated Biased Sample

This paper focuses on the density estimation problem that occurs when the sample is negatively associated and biased. We constructed a block thresholding wavelet estimator to recover the density function from the negatively associated biased sample. The pointwise optimality of this wavelet density estimation is shown as L p ( 1 ≤ p < ∞ ) risks over Besov space. To validate the effectiveness of the block thresholding wavelet method, we provide some examples and implement the numerical simulations. The results indicate that our block thresholding wavelet density estimator is superior in terms of the mean squared error (MSE) when comparing with the nonlinear wavelet density estimator.

On adaptivity of wavelet thresholding estimators with negatively super-additive dependent noise

This paper considers the nonparametric regression model with negatively super-additive dependent (NSD) noise and investigates the convergence rates of thresholding estimators. It is shown that the term-by-term thresholding estimator achieves nearly optimal and the block thresholding estimator attains optimal (or nearly optimal) convergence rates over Besov spaces. Additionally, some numerical simulations are implemented to substantiate the validity and adaptivity of the thresholding estimators with the presence of NSD noise.
