Deconvolution with unknown error distribution

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We consider the problem of estimating a density fX using a sample Y1,...,Yn from fY=fXstarfepsilon, where fepsilon is an unknown density. We assume that an additional sample epsilon1,...,epsilonm from fepsilon is observed. Estimators of fX and its derivatives are constructed by using nonparametric estimators of fY and fepsilon and by applying a spectral cut-off in the Fourier domain. We derive the rate of convergence of the estimators in case of a known and unknown error density fepsilon, where it is assumed that fX satisfies a polynomial, logarithmic or general source condition. It is shown that the proposed estimators are asymptotically optimal in a minimax sense in the models with known or unknown error density, if the density fX belongs to a Sobolev space Hmathbhp and fepsilon is ordinary smooth or supersmooth.
