Abstract: This paper is concerned with the estimation of the partial derivatives of a probability density function of directional data on the d-dimensional torus within the local thresholding framework. The estimators here introduced are built by means of the toroidal needlets, a class of wavelets characterized by excellent concentration properties in both the real and the harmonic domains. In particular, we discuss the convergence rates of the Lp-risks for these estimators, investigating on their minimax properties and proving their optimality over a scale of Besov spaces, here taken as nonparametric regularity function spaces.
