Topics in non-parametric statistics

From MaRDI portal





The subject of nonparametric statistics is statistical inference applied to noisy observations of infinite-dimensional ``parameters, like images and time-dependent signals. This is a mathematical area on the border between statistics and functional analysis, the latter name taken in its ``literal meaning -- as geometry of spaces of functions. It would be impossible to outline in a short course the contents of the rich and highly developed area of nonparametric statistics; we restrict ourself to a number of selected topics related to estimating nonparametric regression functions and functionals of these functions. The presentation is self-contained, modulo a few facts from the theory of functional spaces. (From the preface.) Contents: Ch. 1, Estimating regression functions from Hölder balls. Ch. 2, Estimating regression functions from Sobolev balls. Ch. 3, Spatial adaptive estimation on Sobolev balls. Ch. 4, Estimating signals satisfying differential inequalities. Ch. 5, Aggregation of estimates. I. Ch. 6, Aggregation of estimates. II. Ch. 7, Estimating functionals. I. Ch. 8, Estimating functionals. II. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0941.00026].
