Abstract: We study the problem of estimating piecewise monotone vectors. This problem can be seen as a generalization of the isotonic regression that allows a small number of order-violating changepoints. We focus mainly on the performance of the nearly-isotonic regression proposed by Tibshirani et al. (2011). We derive risk bounds for the nearly-isotonic regression estimators that are adaptive to piecewise monotone signals. The estimator achieves a near minimax convergence rate over certain classes of piecewise monotone signals under a weak assumption. Furthermore, we present an algorithm that can be applied to the nearly-isotonic type estimators on general weighted graphs. The simulation results suggest that the nearly-isotonic regression performs as well as the ideal estimator that knows the true positions of changepoints.
