Optimal sampling for density estimation in continuous time

From MaRDI portal





Let a stationary process \(X(t)\in R^d\), \(t\in R\), be observed at points \(t_{i,n}\): \(t_{i,0}=0\), \(t_{k+1,n}=t_{k,n}+l_n\delta_n\), where \(\delta_n\to 0\), and \(l_n\) are predefined real numbers with \(1\leq l_n\leq l^*\). A kernel density estimator for the marginal density of \(X(t)\) is considered of the form \[ \hat f_n(x)=(n h_n^d)^{-1} \sum_{i=1}^n K\left((x-X(t_{i,n})h_n^{-1}\right). \] The authors seek for the minimal possible \(\delta_n\) under which \(\hat f_n\) has \(L_2\) convergence rate equal to the i.i.d. case rate. The case is considered where observations are of the form \(X(t)+\varepsilon_t\), where \(\varepsilon_t\) is some noise process. A deconvolution kernel-type estimator is proposed for \(f\) in the case where the marginal density of \(\varepsilon_t\) is known. Usual kernel estimators are considered in the case of ``small noise: \(\varepsilon_t=\sigma_n\varepsilon_t^0\) with \(\sigma_n\to 0\) as \(n\to\infty\).
